Hi, how you doing. Look, i'm looking for information about what original documents do i need related to replacing a SSN card for a child, please?
================
Yes, no problem. The documents you need will serve to prove child's U.S citizenship. There is only certain documents that we can accept in that regard.
Have you already established the child's U.S citizenship with us?
No, i hadn't do that.
================
That got me thinking. Please, that card can be replaced, isn't?
Sure, sure. The child's SSN card can be replaced free of charge in case is lost or stolen. you should know that you have a limit for that operation, up to 3 times in a year and up to 10 times during your lifetime.
Oh, i didn't knew that. Look, can i present copies of the documents?
That's not possible, sorry. Those documents you should present, must be original or if they are copies, must be certified by that agency that issued them. We won't accept notarized copies, either. Of course, these documents mus be current and not expired.
================
Uh, mus take that into account. And, in any case, i could present other documents to you?
It is possible, yes. Any document presented must show your name, date of birth or age, and a recent photograph. This document could be, for example, a employee identification card.
Oh, oh, another question please. Could you tell me with what purposes you use a document?
Well, that would depend on the document presented, but for example we could use your U.S passport as proof of both citizenship and identity.
Ok. um, lets say i don't have a document available to present, do i have any options regarding that?
Yes, you have an option. We may accept some other document, such as a state issued non driver identification card or, in case your child is adopted, a adoption decree.
================
All right. Please, you told me before that i was limited in times i could replce the SSN card, didn't you?
That's correct. You only can go through replacement process 3 times in a year and up to 10 times in your whole life, so better take good care of that card.
