Q) My purse was stolen which had my children’s social security cards, can I apply for new numbers for them?
A) According to the Social Security Administration – You can replace your Social Security card for free if it is lost or stolen. However, you may not need to get a replacement card. Knowing your Social Security number is what is important.
You need a Social Security number to get a job, collect Social Security benefits and receive some government services but you do not often need to show your Social Security card.

My 16 year old daughter lost her s.s. Card and I need to get a duplicate for her so she can get her drivers license. How can I do it? Will I be able to go to the Annapolis branch or can I do it over the internet?? Brian page 443-***-6**9. Thanks
