Hello, everyone!

My question is in regards to the American Social Security number.

I'm Mexican and live in Mexico City. I would like to do work for certain music libraries but in order to receive payment and be able to pay taxes for the work, I need to:

A) Be a member of ASCAP or BMI, who ask for a social security number

and

B) be able to have a social security number in order to be able to actually give payment information to some of these music libraries.

So my question is this: I KNOW there are foreigners who don't live in the U.S. who do work for music libraries and get paid.

How did they get their social security number in order to do this work and, obviously, join ASCAP or BMI?

Thank you very much,


Serge
