The primary purpose is tracking working individuals for taxation purposes and to track Social Security benefits, but it is also used for other purposes, such as getting a telephone, driver license or cell phone. We will take you to the nearest Social Security office so you can apply for your social security number as soon as possible.

Bank Account: While there are many banks to choose from in the United States, PPR International will take you to a bank deemed to have outstanding customer service to set up an account for you. PPR International recommends you establish a checking account and a savings account. The checking account can be used for the convenience of direct depositing your paycheck with a portion of your check going to your savings account, if you so desire.
