If you lost your card, you may not need a replacement. In most cases, simply knowing your SSN is enough. But if you do need a replacement, we make it easy. Once you complete your application (online or in person), you will receive your Social Security card in the mail.

If you legally change your name because of marriage, divorce, court order, or any other reason, you need to tell Social Security so that you can get a corrected card. If you are working, you also need to tell your employer. If you do not tell us when your name changes, it may:

If you change your name, become a U.S. citizen, or your immigration status or work authorization has changed, you need to tell Social Security so we can update our records and when necessary, issue a new card.

When you request a replacement or a corrected Social Security card, you must show us proof of your identity, immigration status and work authorization. In addition, if you need to change or correct any information on your Social Security card, you need to show us certain documents about the change. We can only accept certain documents.

If we assigned you a Social Security number for non-work purposes, special rules apply. If DHS did not authorize you to work, we will change your name on our records but we cannot issue you a corrected card. If you do not have permission to work, but need a Social Security card for other reasons, see "If you do not have permission to work" for further information. Remember that you cannot use a Social Security number assigned for non-work purposes to work. If you use it to work, we will inform DHS.

Anyone age 12 or older requesting an original Social Security number must appear in person for an interview. We will ask for evidence so we can check our records that we have not already issued a Social Security card to your child. Here are examples of documents that we may need to see:

Note:The documents must be originals (such as state issued identification cards and school identification cards) or certified (such as school records or medical records). To be certified, the school or medical facility must affix a signature, stamp, or seal to the photocopy or extract attesting to the accuracy of the document. An electronically certified copy is not acceptable.

I requested Social Security card replacement on 10/18/2022. I received an email on 10/22/2022 stating that I would receive my replacement card within the next 5-7 business days. I still have not received my card. It has been over 4 weeks.

My daughter got married recently. She went to the local office and had her name changed and received her social security card in the mail. Her new last name is spelled incorrectly. Does she have to go back to the local office to have this corrected?

My husband passed away 1 year ago and I was told to mail his social security card with the death certificate to the Social Security Office. I now find I need the card for other government applications. Can I apply online to get a copy and how long does it take? Thank you 041b061a72
