Q) I lost my ss card. what documents do i need to bring to apply for a new card?
A) To get a replacement Social Security card:
Step 1: Gather documents proving your:
Identity; and
U.S. citizenship or current work-authorized* immigration status.
*A noncitizen not permitted to work must show us a letter from a federal, state or local government agency that explains you need a number and meet all the requirements for a benefit.
Step 2: Complete an Application for a Social Security Card.
Step 3: Take or mail your completed application and documents to your local Social Security office.
All documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. SSA cannot accept photocopies or notarized copies of documents. Any documents you mail to SSA will be returned to you along with a receipt.
NOW YOU MUST MAIL IT ONLY – CAN’T EVEN DROP IT OFF – GET ON THE PHONE, UNLESS YOU SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT HOWEVER APPOINTMENTS ARE ONLY BEING MADE FOR IMMIGRANTS AND THAT IS A FACT –
