What do I need to show to get a Social Security Card?
================
You must provide proof if you are a U.S. citizen.
Have you already confirmed your citizenship status with us?
No I haven't.
I have passport or driver's license at the moment, how do I proceed?
If that is the case, a valid employee identification card might be accepted as long as it is not expired and it shows your name, identifying information like date of birth or age and preferably a recent photograph of you.
Are there other cards that I can prove my status with?
Yes a U.S. driver 's license or other state - issued non - driver identification card is acceptable.
What if I require a name change on my Social Security card?
In that case, you must show us proof of your legal name change like with an official marriage document.
================
Will this name change be registered for all government departments?
If you fail to inform us of the name change it might impact how your wages are being posted to your Social Security record, which may lower the amount of your future Social Security benefits and may cause delays when you file your taxes.
