If you want to verify SSNs for other than wage reporting purposes you must use our Consent Based SSN Verification Service (CBSV) which you can access from our website at .socialsecurity.gov/cbsv. If you want to verify your own SSN, you must have proof of identity and visit your local Social Security Field Office.

You can also apply by calling us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), Monday through Friday from a.m. to p.m local time or visiting your local Social Security Office. (Call first to make an appointment.)

To get an SSN card with a corrected name, you will likely need to provide evidence of your identity, your new legal name, and name change event. You also may need to prove your current U.S. citizenship or lawful noncitizen status.

We can accept only certain documents as proof of citizenship for new and replacement cards. These include a U.S. passport, a Certificate of Naturalization, or a Certificate of Citizenship. If you aren't a U.S. citizen, Social Security will ask to see your current immigration documents.

You can go to .ssa.gov/ssnumber and answer a few questions to find out the best way to apply. If you aren't able to use a personal my Social Security account to request a replacement card, you can still begin the process online and complete it in a local Social Security office or card center, usually in less time.

Form SSA-795 is a multi-purpose form used to submit written requests to Social Security. The title of the form is "Statement of Claimant", and Social Security prefers to have people use the form as opposed to other types of correspondence because it contains a penalty clause for making false statements.
