Step 1: Why Do You Need a New Card?

The reason you need a new card determines your required documents and how you can apply.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has different requirements for a simple replacement versus a card that requires an information update. For example, a name change requires legal documentation and cannot be processed through the standard online portal. Please select the option that best describes your situation. This will help us guide you to the correct pathway.

What is the primary reason you need a new Social Security card?

My card was lost, stolen, or is damaged. I need to change my name on my card (due to marriage, divorce, etc.). I need to correct other information (e.g., date of birth).
