March 8, 2018 / by Marco / Categories : BusinessA social security card is a government issued document which shows your name and Social Security Number and gives you the right to work in the United States, as well as access to many Social Security benefits. You may apply for a Social Security card if you are a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident with a valid billing address.
Getting a Social Security card is free of charge and you have an option to apply online or at a Social Security office near you.
Take some time to read top three important tips about applying for a social security card.
Apply Online
Getting a job and collecting your Social Security benefits is not possible without a valid Social Security Card. The easiest way to apply and get a Social Security Card or request a replacement card is online and the first thing that you will be needing is a Social Security account which you can open by following this link.
To ask a replacement card, you need to make sure you meet the following criteria:
- A U.S. citizen or have a permanent residence in the U.S.
- Older than 18.
- A driver’s license or an ID card.
In case you do not meet the criteria to apply online, or you are prevented from doing so due to other reasons, you will have to collect and show the required documents to your local Social Security office.
Collect the Required Documents
The procedure for getting a new, replacement or corrected Social Security card is the same. As stated above, you will need a number of different documents to apply. Of course, the documents that you are submitting need to be originals or certified copies.
We have listed the type of documents that you need in order to apply for a Social Security card:
- U.S. birth certificate or a passport.
- A proof that you were not previously issued with a Social Security number.
- Driver’s license.
- State-issued ID.
- An employee or school ID card.
After you have collected all the necessary documents fill out your application and send it to your local Social Security office by mail, or submit it in person.
Note: People submitting an application on behalf of their clients are required to prove their relationship with the person they are applying for and also prove their own identity.
Specify a Reason for the Name Change
If for some reason, you need to change the name (or other information, such as citizenship of day of birth) on your Social Security card, you will be required to provide relevant documents showing your identity and specify the reason for the name change.
What you need to remember when changing the name on your Social Security card is that you must submit a document that shows your old and new name. It is necessary that the document is of recent date.
