See Letter Of No Record at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/citizenship-evidence.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-app... Really helpful to have birth listed in a couple church public registers. For baby passport, basically the parents attest to the child being born as American along with "hey look at this public record". And a SSN is apparently never required and State Dept should probably not being relying on a tax agency number. I mistakenly transposed and messed up the digits for the SSN box ten years ago and the passport arrived. So they didn't even do a lookup on it.
