Are a tax number and a Social Security number interchangeable?

General information, not a decision about your individual case. Laws change — check the official source and the review date.

Not legally reviewed

No. NIF is the tax identifier and NISS identifies the person in Social Security. Neither should replace immigration checks. Ask which registrations and employment links have actually been completed, rather than requesting only the numbers.
