So what's a social security number
OMG there is so much I need to know!
That's different than my Identity Code isn't it?
social security number and Identity are the same thing. However you might need to show a job contract as well to get an account, depending on your circumstances. And be prepared: take all the papers you can think of and be sure the office you want will be closed the first time you go there, cos opening hours here are rather idiosyncratic.
