The first thing you need to decide on is whether or not you need a replacement card since it is only the social security number that really matters. In the event of ordering a replacement card, make sure you have the required documents – a U.S. driving license and a state-issued identification card, all of which should not be photocopies or notarized copies. Print out an application for the new card, fill it out and mail it to your local Social Security office. You are allowed three replacements per year, and 10 for all time. The card will reach you via mail as soon as verification is complete. Click here for best filing services for your Social Security Card.
