Welcome. You'll need to fill out Form SS-5 — that's our application for a Social Security card. Did you bring your passport and work authorization documents?

Perfect. Let me verify these. Your immigration status needs to be confirmed through the Department of Homeland Security. This process usually takes about two to four weeks.

Unfortunately, we can't expedite it. But here's the thing — you can actually start working as long as you've applied. Your employer can use your receipt letter as proof that you've submitted the application.

You can apply for a replacement card. You'll need a valid photo ID — a driver's license or passport. If you're a non-citizen, we'll also need your current immigration documents.

No, it's free. But there is a limit — you can get up to three replacement cards per year and ten over your lifetime. So it's important to keep it in a safe place.

Yes, if you're a US citizen over eighteen with a valid driver's license or state ID, you can do it through our my Social Security website. Otherwise, you'll need to come in person like today.
