Our Story
A Letter from Our CEO
Nobody understands the difficulties of applying for a Social Security card replacement better than we do. Unlike most other services, we’ve actually lived the situation you’re in right now. After wasting hours at the Social Security office, struggling to figure out which documents to send, and waiting weeks for our replacement card, we received our package back from the Social Security Administration: DENIED.
How? We followed the steps exactly as laid out for us. We sent in our passport and driver’s license AND a birth certificate. How could we be denied?
It took forever for us to get a hold of a REAL PERSON at the Social Security Administration support center. Their answer floored us—a slight typo on our form resulted in denial. Just formatting the Date-of-Birth section incorrectly resulted in wasted time and money. The SSA went on to inform us that TONS of people make this same mistake. The form and process are just so long and confusing that we let our guard down.
The fact that the SSA acknowledged the problem but offered no help was too much for us to handle. We vowed to create a better way.
That’s how Online-Application.Org was created. We started this service to help people just like you who are struggling to get their new or replacement cards from the SSA. We’ve devised a way to auto-generate your form in the proper format so you can avoid making the same mistakes we did. Don’t fall victim to government bureaucracy or confusing regulations. Do it the right way first!
Why More and More Americans Are Using a Social
Security Card Replacement Service
It hasn’t always been easy to file for a new card. In the past, you’d have to go to the local Social Security card office, get the form, fill it out, and submit it in person or take it home and file it via mail. While you still can do that, it’s not the most efficient use of your time. Printing the form from the web and filling it in is far more convenient. However, you’d be surprised to learn just how many applications for a new card are outright denied. The Social Security Administration even warns applicants that they are responsible for the accuracy of their form. Even the slightest mistake will disqualify your application. More Americans are turning to professional filing services for their replacement cards because of the convenience and peace of mind. As soon as they file with us, they realize how easy it could have been the entire time. No stress, no missed days of work, no weeks stressing over whether or not you filed your application properly. If you file alone, you are assuming ALL OF THAT RISK. Our service:
- Gives peace of mind
- Lays out clear instructions
- Provides access to world-class support
- Included value-added services that you can’t find anywhere else
The value it provides is well worth the few dollars you pay.
How to Replace Your Social Security Card with the SSA
If you need to file for a new or replacement card, or you need to make changes because of marriage, divorce, or a name change, you can file with the Social Security Administration for free. The only cost is your time. You will need to submit a fully completed SS-5 form along with the proper supporting documentation based on your unique situation. Follow these steps to replace your card:
Obtain the SS-5 Form
Go to the Social Security office in person and get the form or print it off the SSA site. Depending on your state of residence you may be able to do this process completely online (we’ll cover that later).
Gather the Proper Supporting Documents
Depending on your situation, you will need to submit:
- Proof of age
- Proof of identity
- Proof of citizenship
If you are an immigrant, you will have to submit proof of legal immigration status in the United States.
Fill in the SS-5 Form and Submit
Be sure to check the right boxes and provide all of the correct information. Have a person or two check it over for mistakes and/or formatting errors. Once you are sure you’ve got it right, send it off to the Social Security Administration via mail.
From there, it should take about 3 weeks for your new card to arrive.
Applying for a Social Security Card Replacement Online ***

What Can Online-Application.Org Help me File?
We are the leading replacement Social Security service on the web, but we help our customers complete a number of very difficult and tedious processes with the Social Security Administration. We can help you:
File for an original Social Security card:
Believe it or not, there are vast numbers of Americans who have NEVER received a card. It could be because their parents neglected to do it or because they never knew they needed one. Applying for your first card is difficult. It subjects you to a number of strict requirements since your information is not already on file. We can help you complete the process easily and save hours of time. You’ll start earning towards retirement in no time.
Make changes to your current card:
Whether it’s for marriage, divorce, or other extenuating circumstances, changes MUST be made to your Social Security card to reflect your current name or other information. It is the law. If you need to make changes, we can streamline the process to send you an updated card in the fastest manner possible.
File a Social Security card replacement application for your child:
Filing for a new card for your child is even more difficult than filing for yourself. You must not only provide documentation proving your identity, but you must also submit documents proving custody. On top of that, you must send in documents proving your child’s age and citizenship. This can be extremely confusing for many applicants. Our service will guide you through this process step by step so your child can get their card as quickly as possible.

Social Security – A Quick Overview
In the United States, Social Security is a government program that provides income to retirees and disabled people (and their families). It is a pay-as-you-go program where younger, healthy workers pay now for the promise of income security when they get older and retire.
When you work, money is taken from your paycheck every pay period and paid into the program. Theoretically, when you are of retirement age, you can begin collecting benefits in accordance with how much you’ve paid in (in basic terms).
There are millions of Americans (approximately 60 million according to the National Institute of Social Insurance) that collect Social Security benefits each month. Compare this to the roughly 170 million that pay into the program.
The Social Security Act was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935 with the goal of helping workers and their families retire with enough money to live. In general, Social Security is more beneficial to workers at the lower end of the income bracket so as to prevent families from living in relative poverty.

How Much Will I Earn from Social Security?
You’re probably interested in the potential payout of Social Security each month. That question is difficult to answer and heavily dependent on how much you pay in. The more you earn, the more you pay, and therefore, the more you are entitled to when the time comes to collect.
The National Academy of Social Insurance claims that the average payout is about $1,400 for retired workers, roughly $1,300 for the widow of a retired worker, and $2,600 per month for a widow and 2 children.
-
How is my Social Security Number Used by the Government?
Every American is required to have a Social Security number to work legally in the country. Once you are given a number, the Social Security Administration and the IRS use this number to track your earnings and payments into the program.
Over the course of your life, these earnings will be used to determine your payout so that once you reach retirement age, you will have a guaranteed monthly income regardless of your ability to work.
Do not put off filing for a new card any longer! It’s extremely important!
Social Security Card Replacement F.A.Q
Our customer service representatives are constantly on the phone answering questions from applicants. With such a complex and confusing topic, it’s understandable that so many people have questions. We’ve taken the most common questions and answered them here to save you time. If you do not find the answer you’re looking for, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We’re available 24/7.
Q: How can I get my Social Security card replaced for free?
A: The Social Security Administration lets you apply for a replacement card for free. You are responsible for figuring the process out on your own. It is complicated and confusing, especially for first-time applicants. However, it is completely free.
Q: Can I get a Social Security card replacement the same day?
A: No, sorry. That’s not possible. It will take 2 weeks at a minimum and perhaps more. The waiting period is even longer if you make a mistake on the application.
Q: Can I send copies of my documents to the SSA?
A: No, the Social Security Administration DOES NOT accept copies, even notarized ones, under any circumstance. All documents must be originals.
Q: Why does your company charge a fee?
A: Please understand that we are not affiliated with the government. We are a 3rd-party professional filing service. Our goal is to streamline this extremely difficult process and ensure you get it right the first time. We help you avoid the Social Security office and file the forms conveniently, all while providing step-by-step instructions and expert consultation. Filing your taxes is free, yet nearly everyone hires an accountant. Why? So they get it right and avoid problems with the government!
Q: My card was stolen. What should I do?
A: If someone has stolen your wallet/purse with your card in it or outright stolen your Social Security card, you must take immediate action to protect your identity. A thief with your card is now capable of doing anything that you can with it. They could take out credit in your name and leave you with the debt and much more. Contact the police, contact the SSA, and contact the credit bureaus immediately. Put out a fraud alert and protect your finances before applying for a new card.
Q: Do I really need a new card if I know my number?
A: Yes. Plain and simple. While not all government agencies or employers want to see your card, some might. If they do, you will be forced to show it. Also, humans are prone to error. You might think you know your Social Security number, but you can never be 100% sure unless you see the document. The card is extremely important and every American should have theirs safely filed away at home.
Summary
Social Security is a vital form of government insurance that protects American citizens from living in poverty. As you work throughout your life, you pay into the system under the promise of receiving benefits when you retire or if you become disabled. Your card and the number it displays are a vital connection between you the Social Security Administration. If you have lost your Social Security card for any reason, you must file for a Social Security card replacement as soon as humanly possible. It is a vital document that allows you to apply for a job, attend college, file a tax return, open a bank account, and a number of other essential life functions. If you wish to file for a new card with the Social Security Administration, you must provide proof of identity, proof of age, and proof of citizenship along with a properly completed SS-5 form. To obtain the form, go to the nearest Social Security Administration office or print the form from online (or complete it via the web in select locations).
While this process is free (aside from your time and opportunity cost), it is extremely complex. In fact, a good number of Americans make common mistakes or don’t submit the proper documents based on their unique situation. This results in their application being delayed. After a few weeks, your application will be returned with a notice of denial. A professional filing service such as Online-Application.org gives you the best possible chance of filing your application quickly and correctly.
This service does this by letting you skip the lines at the Social Security Administration office, auto-generating your form, providing documentation consultation, and giving you clear, step-by-step instructions in plain English to facilitate the process. If you’re looking for convenience, peace of mind, and the best possible chance of avoiding costly common errors, the small, one-time fee of a professional filing service is a worthwhile investment.
