I think my husband is warming up to this whole no ssn for our baby idea (just told him he the baby doesn't need a ssn for a US Passport)

How do you go about doing that?

The trick is to never have had one issued. You just have to prove US birth

That’s more what I’m asking though - how do you get around having one issued? Is it something you can decline or is it more of a “civil disobedience” thing?

You only need one when you start paying taxes or if you plan on participating in state welfare/unemployment etc. Your parents normally apply for one on your behalf right from the hospital tho.
