Is a US Social Security no, the same as a UK National Insurance no?

think that the Idea is the same, but the numbers are different...... our(UK) numbers are not the same as theirs.(US) Bob

What is National Insuence? A National Insurance (NI) number is a personal number used: * to record a person's NI contributions and credited contributions * because it is needed when claiming social seccurity benefits. A NI number should only be given to one person and must only be used by that person. There are circumstances when, by law, you must apply for a NI number. What is Social Sercurity? Everybody is supposed to have a Social Security card that has their Social Security number. This is the number that Social Security uses to keep track of your earnings throughout your life. When people apply for Social Security benefits, Social Security uses this number to tell if they can get benefits and how much they can get. It is also the number the federal government uses to keep track of you in its records. You keep the same number throughout your life So they work on the same principle and are the equivalent to each other although an social sercurity number is listed in some death indeces.

Thanks for that. :-) Got to order a US Death Certificate with the social security no, thats all. Was just wondering if it was the same as NI Number, why dont we use it on Death Certificates? Odd.....

Paul, Are you going for the 'Informational' one?. dont forget that the cost of the cert doesnt include the cost of the search fee.........or postage...........Bob

I've never ordered a certificate from the US before.... Do you use a perticular website? I need a Death Certificate from GA.

I found my reference on ancestry, a california death, I had to find the relevant coroners? office for the area, in My case it was Alameda, and applied to them.....(online-Email)... there are two types, one is a more full version, in which case you need all sorts of references, or the Informational one, which is obtained just by asking, and paying of course, as a afterthought why not ask Judy in the States for a quick way round, IF there is one..... Bob

I'll look into it, thanks Bob.

paul If you go to http://ssdi.rootsweb.*com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi and search for the entry you want then click on the shopping trolley with will end up on Ancestry with the option to buy certificates for Birth, Death, Marriage and Divorce. Good luck (remove star from address)

Lunar , thats strange...without the SS no. I get two..........not mine.. With the ss n.. I get none found............

Hi, I've just clicked on the shopping trolley,a dn it's taken me to a form. It asks for the State, which is Georgia, and then the County and City, I'm pretty sure the City would have been Atlanta, but not sure about the county. :-s All I know was the last place of residence was 'Warner Robins'. Now I dont know if that it the county, city or what. :-s -- OK, Just put it into Wikipedia, and it says that Warner Robins is a city. :-p Just got to find out the county now.

OK, found all the details for it, went to complete the form, complete payment, and the last thing it asked me was my SSN. And if I didnt have one, I wasn't allowed to order it. :-(

Paul, I think that you will have to apply to the actual office, rather than online...........Bob

vitalrec*at*acgov.org paul see if this works for you, and maybe ask them how to procceed? remove the stars...and put in the sign for the AT Bob

In 1997, the city also annexed into neighboring Peach County, effective September 26, 1997. It is the principal city of the Warner Robins, Georgia Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 48,804. The city was originally named Wellston, which was little more than a train stop for local farmers. During World War II, in order to secure a military base, it was renamed after General Augustine Warner Robins. It was founded in the early 1940s and survived a direct strike from an F4 tornado in April 1953. The city is nicknamed the 'International City'; this comes from the number of people that live here from all over the world brought together by nearby Robins AFB. The slang term for Warner Robins among the youth of the city is 'Wartown'.
