The turnaround time for obtaining a NISS typically ranges from a few days to several weeks.

However, it’s essential to understand that the issuance largely depends on the responsiveness of the Social Security office.

Please note that once the application is officially submitted, we do not have the capability to monitor its progress.

While many clients receive their NISS within a couple of weeks, there have been instances where the wait extended beyond a month. For this reason, it’s advisable to be prepared for scenarios that might take up to or more than 4 weeks.

Please note, this period starts from the day the Power of Attorney is signed.
