Can Form 1040 (with SSN) be an alternative SSN proof in applying an MA driver's permit?

Hi, I'm a new immigrant and trying to get a driver's license in MA. But I forgot to bring social security card with me when came to MA and do not have other related government-issued social security proofs. One official document at hand is a Form 1040 (pdf file) that has my SSN on it. I'm not sure if the RMV officers will accept it as an SSN proof or not. I have all the documents ready and this is the only proof I miss. Any advice or help would be highly appreciated.

No way. Anybody can fill out a 1040 with an SSN and make a pdf out of it. It's not evidence of identity.

Apparently you need the following to apply for a Massachusetts driver license:

• Your out-of-state driver's license.
  • You will need a photo ID AND a certified driving record no more than 30 days old IF:
    • Your driver's license doesn't have a picture.
      OR
      
    • You do not have your current driver's license.

• A certified driving record no more than 30 days old IF your driver's license is from Canada, Mexico, or a U.S. territory.

• Proof of your birth date, such as your:
  • Out-of-state driver's license.
    • Your current driver's license can be used as proof of birth date OR proof of signature, but NOT both.
  • U.S. passport.
  • Birth certificate (original or certified copy).

• Proof of your signature, such as your:
  • U.S. passport.
  • Loan or lease documents.
  • Marriage certificate.

• Proof of your MA residency, such as your:
  • Mortgage or lease documents.
  • Home or renters insurance policy.
  • Utility bill up to 60 days old.

• Your Social Security number.

It appears that you don't need a social security "card" just the number if you have all the other documents that are required.
