Adding your UKC spouse to US credit cards?
« on: February 20, 2015, 03:06:32 PM »
Hi all,

I am finally making headway 2 months after arriving in the UK. I'm on a joint bank account with my husband and on his UK credit card as an authorized user, EHIC, etc, etc.
I am keeping my US credit cards dormant but open and want to add my husband. Do they all ask for a US SSN or has anyone been able to do this with just a name and a US mailing address?


Cheers!

I don't think they ask for an authorized user's social security number.

I added DH years ago to a CC I still maintain. No SSN required for that.
Married December 1992 (my 'old flame' whom I first met in the mid-70s)
1st move to UK - 1993 (Letter of Consent granted at British Embassy in Washington DC)
ILR - 1994 (1 year later - no fee way back then!)
Back to US in 2000
Returned to UK July 2011 (Spousal Visa/KOL endorsement)
ILR - September 2011
Application for naturalization submitted July 2014
Approval received 15-10-14; ceremony scheduled for 10 November!
Passport arrived 25 November 2014. Finally done!

So far, I have been asked for my husband's SSN. Thanks, anyway; I'll give them a call.
