Have you legally changed your name?
Yes, I have
then you have to inform Social Security so that you can get a corrected card.
What documents should I give as proof of my citizenship?
Among the documents accepted as proof of citizenship, there are the U.S. birth certificate and the U.S. passport.
That's helpful to hear. Do you have any information on what original documents do I need? What if I don't have access to any of these documents?
In that case we will ask to see other documents. Any documents submitted, including the following, must be current not expired and show your name, identifying information date of birth or age and preferably a recent photograph. We could for example ask for an employee identification card.
I see. And what would work as a proof of identity?
For example a U.S. driver's license or a state-issued, non-driver identification card.
Actually, a friend of mine lost their Social Security card. If that happens to me, can I get it replaced somehow?
