Are you obtaining a new card because of a legal name change?
Yes, his last name has changed due to a court order.
To obtain a new card with his new legal name, you need to contact Social Security.
He is currently working part time. Do I need to contact his employer?
Yes. His employer should also be notified of the name change.
Does it matter that he is a foreign worker?
No, but we will need to see his I-94 Arrival/Departure Record or an admission stamp in the unexpired foreign passport showing a class of admission permitting work.
What if he's not authorized to work?
In this case, we can change his name in our records, but he won't be able to receive a new card.
I don't have an identity document with his prior name on it. Can you accept other documents?
Yes, we may accept an unexpired identity document with his current name on it, as long as we can establish your son's identity in our records.
Will the new card have the same number?
