Can you get a Chase credit card with an ITIN or no SSN?
Yes: Chase accepts an ITIN instead of an SSN, online or at a branch, but not a passport alone. Chase has no secured card; its card for people with no credit history is Freedom Rise ($0 annual fee, 3% foreign transaction fee).
Last checked:
- Apply with an ITIN
- Yes · How to apply with an ITIN: Online or at a branch. The Freedom Rise application checklist asks for "your Social Security Number (SSN) and/or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)". Chase says you can apply online or in a branch. [1][2]
- Passport only (no SSN or ITIN)
- No. Chase lists an SSN or ITIN as required to apply, and we found no Chase route for applying with only a passport. [1][2]
- Uses credit history from abroad
- Not stated. We found no Chase page about using credit history from another country. Chase's own guide for international students says cards from your home country won't count toward a US credit score. [1]

What else to know
- Chase does not offer a secured credit card.
- If you have never had a credit card, Chase says having a Chase checking or savings account with at least $250 in it, opened before you apply, improves your chance of approval for Freedom Rise.
- After you apply, Chase may ask for documents to verify who you are, such as a Social Security card or a US driver's license, and it generally needs a physical US address (not a P.O. box).
