A certificate of coverage serves as proof that the worker identified on the certificate
is covered in the country which issued the certificate and is, therefore, exempt from
social security taxes in the other country for the period noted on the certificate.
To obtain a certificate of coverage, the employer, the employee or self-employed person
must send a written request to the agency of the country which issues the certificate.
If a certificate of coverage from the U.S. is desired, the request should be mailed
to:
Social Security Administration
Office of International Policy
P.O. Box 17741
Baltimore, Maryland 21235-7741
