Social Security Card Application » Social Security Card Complete Guide » Getting a Copy of Your Social Security Card

Whether you are applying for your Social Security card for the very first time or you need a copy of Social Security card, you may have a daunting feeling about dealing with it. After all, you know that whenever you deal with federal government agencies you will have to read and decipher a mountain of regulations and directions. Any mistakes or omissions will get your application rejected.

However, that is the old way of doing things. Today, you can use a professional filing service to streamline the application process. For a small fee, the sophisticated software and the professional, helpful staff at online-application.org enable you to get your Social Security card with little stress and after just one attempt.

Why Do I Need to Have a Social Security Card?

When you get a Social Sercurity card copy, you will be assigned a unique, nine-digit number, and that number will be displayed on your card along with your full name.

In the eyes of the United States government, the main purpose of having a Social Security number is to enable the Social Security Administration to monitor your income and collect money from your paychecks during your working years. Your Social Security card will prove to employers that you have a Social Security number assigned to you, which will enable them to legally hire you and give them a way to report the wages they will pay you.

Unemployment, food stamps (“SNAP”), and other government benefits and services will be available to help you during the rough times in life if you can show these providers your Social Security card. After you reach retirement age, your Social Security number will allow you to apply for and receive monthly Social Security checks. Money for all of these benefits will come from the money that your employers will have paid into the Social Security fund on your behalf from your employment earnings during your working years.

A Social Security card will also tell pharmacy clerks, voting booth attendants, and others that you are who you say you are – a legal United States citizen of a particular age with a particular legal name who has been assigned a unique nine-digit number by the Social Security Administration.

As you can see, you absolutely need to have a Social Security number and a copy of Social Security card so that you can easily and legally function as a United States citizen. So why is it so darn hard to get a card? The U.S. government needs to be absolutely sure that you are who you say you are before they grant you a number and a card that will enable you to receive government money and services throughout your lifetime.

What Options Does the Social Security Administration Give People to Apply?

Before professional filing services such as online-application.org came along, the only options people had to get their first Social Security card were application by mail or in person after they read through a lot of information to decipher what documents they needed and filled out the application according to their understanding of the directions. People could apply for a replacement card online, but that was, and still is, decided upon by state.

These older options are still available, and you can read about them below. But we at online-application.org are pretty sure that you will opt to do things the easy, modern, and accurate way by using our services.

Dinosaur Application Process #1 – Fill out Form SS-5, Decipher Instructions, Mail

You can apply for an original Social Security card, apply for a replacement card, or change or correct the information on your records by mail. Fill out Form SS-5 (“Application for a Social Security Card”) online at https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf. The form provides (many, very specific) directions. Print your completed application off. Read a lot of information and regulations to decipher what documents you need to obtain. Mail the application and your documents to your local Social Security Administration office. If you don’t fully understand the regulations and instructions, and if you don’t fill out Form SS-5 correctly, items may have to be mailed back and forth several times before you give them the exact documents they want. That can be risky.

Dinosaur Application Process #2 – Fill out Form SS-5, Decipher Instructions, Appear in Person

You can apply for an original Social Security card, apply for a replacement card, or change or correct the information on your records if you apply in person. Fill out Form SS-5 (“Application for a Social Security Card”) online at https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf. The form provides (many, very specific) directions. Print your completed application off. Read a lot of information and regulations to decipher what documents you need to obtain. Then take your application and the requested documents to your local Social Security Administration office. Take a number, wait in a waiting room for your turn to speak to a representative. Be prepared to do this at least one more time if you make a mistake and/or you don’t give them the exact documentation they want from you.

Dinosaur Application Process #3 – Online at www.ssa.gov

You cannot apply for your first (original) Social Security card on the Social Security Administration’s website. But there is a possibility that you can apply on their website for a replacement card. You would need to visit www.ssa.gov and click on “my Social Security” or else go to www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount and see whether or not you qualify to apply for a replacement card. Qualification is determined by the state you are applying in. If you qualify, you will then need to set up a “my Social Security” account and then apply for a replacement card there.

This is an obvious one, but it’s definitely an important step in order to complete the process. If you’re not sure where your local office is, look for it online at or use their convenient Social Security office locator.

1. Register at online-application.org

This form will be error-free and in 100% correct format.

3. Read the information we will send you. You don’t need to read through all of the regulations and information on the SSA website – we’ve done all that heavy lifting for you. The information we will send you will be personalized, simplified, and complete step-by-step instructions and guide for getting the proper documents you need to obtain.

What Documents Can I Expect I’ll Have to Obtain and Mail to the SSA if I am a First-Time Applicant?

We will send this kind of information to you after you fill out our online questionnaire. But you can bet that the Social Security Administration will require proof of your citizenship or immigration status, age, and your identity. You must provide original documents or copies that have been certified by the issuing agency. No photocopies, notarized copies, expired documents, or receipts proving applications for original documents will be accepted.

We help people get other kinds of cards from the Social Security office too, so the specific documents that you will need will depend on your citizenship and what kind of card you are trying to get.

But as an example, U.S.-born citizens needing to get their first Social Security card can expect to be required to provide the following documents:
