Social Security is a system that aims to ensure basic citizens’ rights and equal opportunities. It is assumed that natural and legal persons who relate to Social Security are subject to identification in the information system, through the attribution of a Social Security Identification Number (NISS).

To issue the NISS, you must go to any Social Security facility (at the District Headquarters of each District Center, with a specific service center, and at the Local Service Center).
