Can you run your credit if you have a work permit but you are not a resident?

Yes, if you have a work permit, you can establish a credit history in the U.S., even if you are not a permanent resident. However, you may need to provide additional documentation, such as your work permit and a Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), to lenders. Keep in mind that some financial institutions might have specific policies regarding non-residents.
