Have you lost or misplaced your Social Security card? You should know that you could always request a replacement from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Unfortunately, you cannot just do this over the phone or online. You must visit your local Social Security field office or do it through the mail. In order to obtain a new card, you must be able to provide the SSA with identifying documents including a U.S. driver’s license or a state-issued identification card. Additionally, you may be able to use your passport.
In addition to these items, you may want to bring a birth certificate, medical records or school identification to verify your identity. This is especially true if you are seeking a replacement card for a child who may not have a license yet.
To find a complete list of documents that are accepted to obtain a replacement Social Security card, you can visit the SSA’s website by clicking here.
