Hi, I am trying to figure out how to get a Social Security card corrected.
No problem, are you a U.S. born adult that changed your name because of marriage, divorce, court order, or other reasons?
Yes, I got married.
Congratulations on your marriage! You will need to tell Social Security to get a corrected card.
What happens if I didn't tell you of my name change?
If you didn't tell us, it may prevent your wages from being posted and may cause delays when filing your taxes.
================
I better get on it then. What documents do I need?
We will ask to see some documents, that must not be expired and must show your name, date of birth and a recent photograph. Like an employee identification card.
What about a US driver's license or a state identification card?
Yes, those work fine.
Will I also need proof of name change? Like a marriage document.
Yes, that is great.
