You apply for a SSN also known as a TIN or Taxpayer's Identification Number. There's no pin numbers involved. The IRS just wants to tax you and will issue you an identifier regardless of your standing though if you do not have the appropriate paper work to work legally in the US, the card will be stamped as not being permitted to work. Of course, if you'll just let us know who and where you are, we'll be happy to turn you in to the authorities for being an undocumented alien.
