How Do I Replace My Social Security Card?
What do you do if you need to replace your Social Security card?
The Social Security Administration advises that you don’t need your physical card; knowing your number is usually sufficient. But if you want to replace it, you can do so at no charge, either online or in person at your local Social Security office.
For the online option, you’ll need a My Social Security account. We have another video explaining how to set up your account here: https://youtu.be/826nBxt1gbU
Once you’ve set up your account, you can request a new card online as long as you’re 18 or older, have a U.S. mailing address, and possess a valid driver’s license or government-issued ID. You must visit your local Social Security office if you don’t meet these requirements.
After you’ve submitted your request, your new Social Security card should arrive by mail within two weeks.
