Frequently asked questions
- What are the SSN prefixes for Maine?
- Maine was assigned the area-number range 004-007. A Social Security number issued there before 2011 begins with one of these three-digit numbers.
- Does an SSN starting with 004 mean the person is from Maine?
- For cards issued before June 25, 2011, an SSN whose first three digits fall in Maine's range was issued in Maine, usually based on the mailing address on the application, not necessarily birthplace. Numbers issued after randomization carry no location meaning.
- How can I check a specific number?
- Use the SSN checker to enter a full number and see whether its structure is valid, which state it maps to, and a rough estimate of when it was issued.
