Has your name been legally changed or is it about to legally change in the near future, because of marriage, divorce, court order or any other reason?
That situation will be occurring very soon
Firstly, you will need to tell Social Security so that they can issue you with a Corrected Card
I don't have the required documents that are needed for Social Security as identification, what can I do?
We will request other documentation, this documentation must be current, show your name, date of birth or age and preferably have a recent photograph. An employee identification card would be ideal in this case
Do you know about an application over the phone or at a Social Security office. I understand. Can anyone use the Retirement Estimator?
In that matter, it will depend on your child's age. If you have proof of its age before 5, you must submit that document. If not, we can accept other documents to prove this. If your child is over 12, needs to come to the office.
Can i submit copies, i mean, photocopies or notarized copies of documents to you?
Sorry, but no. Any document you submit must be originals. In case to be copies, they must be certified by the issuing agency.
Oh, i see. And what happens if my child has been living outside U.S?
Ok. In that case, any document that proves his/her long term residency outside U.S, such as passport or school record, can be used as proof.
I was told a child in process of adoption can get a SSN before its adoption is complete? is that right?
