If you have not already established your U.S. citizenship with us , we need to see proof of U.S. citizenship .
Have you established your U.S. citizenship before with us?
No, I haven't
can I use my license or other ID card as proof?
For proof of identity you could have your U.S. driver 's license or State - issued non - driver identification card
What if I don't have either of those things?
We can still help but we we will ask to see other documents . Any documents submitted , must be current not expired and show your name , identifying information date of birth or age and preferably a recent photograph.  An employee identification card would be an example of one of those documents
so you need some sort of picture ID from me?
Yes, something such as U.S. driver 's license or State - issued non - driver identification card
Okay, so how much will the card cost me?
You can replace your Social Security card for free if it is lost or stolen . Knowing your Social Security number is what 's important so you may not need to get a replacement card at all.
Can I just use copies or do I need the originals of the documents you said I needed?
