Driver’s permit requirements

Just curious if anyone has any insight… my daughter is ready to go take the permit test, but I don’t have her social security card. We do know the number, we have her birth certificate and school records.

I went to the SS office today to try to get a copy of the card and apparently you can no longer do that without an appointment. I’m waiting for a call back to schedule an appointment but in the meantime I’m just wondering if the actual card is necessary to get a permit.
