It was super easy getting a new one when I remarried, and going to the SS office instead of mailing it in is def the way to go. I get nervous mailing stuff that important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/social-security-card-replacement#post-692206 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:30:27 +0000 autumnlove 692206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went in person and I got the card within a week..I was surprised! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/social-security-card-replacement#post-692194 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:27:49 +0000 twinmama 692194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always just gone to our local SS office for anything. There has never been a wait and they have always been super helpful in person. Then you don't have to mail sensitive info and they will take care of all the details right then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/social-security-card-replacement#post-692184 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:25:56 +0000 MediaNaranja 692184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a copy was ok? Not sure though, it was a long time ago! Best to dig for that on the ssa website :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/social-security-card-replacement#post-692183 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:25:44 +0000 avivoca 692183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to go to a SS office to change mine when we got married. They sent a new one in the mail. It was pretty painless, with the exception of traveling three hours to get to the nearest SS office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/social-security-card-replacement#post-692174 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:23:51 +0000 anonysquire 692174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: do I mail his actual passport and ID?

You just need proof of citizenship (passport, etc), and fill out a simple form. I think you can just mail it in, but I'm not sure.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/social-security-card-replacement#post-692132 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:13:04 +0000 anonysquire 692132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone ever had to replace their card? Ugh! Do you send the documents to your state or the state you were born? How long does it usually take to get a card back. Just discovered my husbands card is missing :( </p>
