Lost my social security card. Can I get a new one with just a DL??

I lost my Social Security card. I plan to go to a local SS office (in Broward County) tomorrow, but upon trying to call there for details about what I would need to bring, I was put on infinite hold 8 times.

I haven't ANY ID to use/show except for my current driver's license and a filled out form SS-5, which I think (from their Web site) is the proper form to bring.

CAN I DO THIS WITH JUST MY DRIVER'S LICENSE? Of course, it has my photo on it and is up-to-date. I am in the state of FL.

Thanks much.

All you need is your valid photo id. You take that to the first window, then they give you the form to fill out. You need to have your Mothers Maiden name to put on the form...not a good idea to put this online! You will also need to list your address, birthdate, birth place, & if you know your ss#, you should fill it in. You will be issued a new card within 2 weeks of turning in the paperwork. You only need your birth certificate if you have never had a card before. If you are worried, take a current piece of mail with your name & address on it or a utility bill to prove who you are & where you live! I have lost mine many times in California & never ever been asked to show a birth certificate! Just a valid photo id will do it!

Thanks. I'd be curious to know IF your state does things differently than mine does! I have never had to show a birth certificate to get another card mailed to me. Please let me know if I was wrong! Report It

Go on line to the social security office website and it lists the documents that you need. You need your birth certificate and a driver's license and I can't remember if that is all.
