If you could please tell me where to go and who I need to speak with would be a great help. If I need to come to the office what documents do I need to bring with me .
Thank you.
A) To change your date of birth shown in Social Security records:
Step 1: Gather documents proving your:
• U.S. citizenship (if you have not previously established your citizenship with us);
• Immigration status (if you are not a U.S. citizen);
• Age; and
• Identity.
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 or your local Social Security Card Center.
All documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. We cannot accept photocopies or notarized copies of documents. We will return any documents you mail to us, along with a receipt.
I have been getting phone calls saying my social security number has been compromised from different numbers. Are these bogus or is there a way I can find out if there is a problem?
