How can I add my husband's name to my bank account if he does not have a SSN yet?
Untitled
Although some financial institutions have policies against opening accounts for individuals without Social Security numbers, there is no law that prevents it if the individual is not a U.S. citizen or resident alien. If your husband has achieved resident alien status, he should apply for a number before attempting to become an account owner.
Banks are permitted to open deposit account relationships with individuals who are non-resident aliens and certain others without SSNs if the individuals are not U.S. citizens. The only way to identify banks that will do so is to make direct inquiries.
