Need a New or Replacement Social Security Card?
Date:
Dear Colleague,
Do your clients need to apply for a new or replacement Social Security card? If so, they may be able to complete, or at least start, their application online.
When your clients visit our Social Security number & card webpage, they can answer a series of questions that will determine whether they can:
- Complete the application process online.
- Start the application process online, then bring any required documents to their local Social Security office or card center to complete the application.
- Complete the application process at their local office.
If your client starts their application online and we determine they need to come into the office, they may be eligible to use our new Online Self-Scheduling option. Scheduling online can save your client time when they visit us to complete the application. This option allows them to:
- Select their language preference.
- Select the most convenient office to receive service.
- Choose to receive communications via email or text.
- Choose to receive email or text appointment reminders.
- Conveniently use their mobile device to check in for their appointment.
They can also reschedule, modify, or cancel their appointment online without having to call or visit the office.
Please share this important information with your members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties.
Sincerely,
Dawn Bystry
Associate Commissioner
