Introduction. Since the late 1970's, the United States has established a network of bilateral Social Security agreements that coordinate the U.S. Social Security program with the comparable programs of other countries.

You may be surprised to know; you can get a second Social Security number, and there are legal reasons that allow it.

You can replace your Social Security card for free if it's lost or stolen. Avoid service providers wanting to charge you a fee to get your replacement card. Keep in mind that you're limited to three replacement cards in a year, and 10 during your lifetime.

If you've done all you can to fix the problems resulting from misuse of your Social Security number, and someone is still using your number, we may assign you a new number.

We can assign a different number only if: Sequential numbers assigned to members of the same family are causing problems. More than one person is assigned or using the same number.

If a business or other organization asks for your SSN, offer your driver's license number instead. Other alternative forms of ID include a passport, proof of current and previous address (such as utility bills), or even a student ID from a college or university.

You can change your Social Security number, but you must have a valid reason and proper documentation for proof. Qualifying reasons for a new SSN include repeated identity theft attempts or harassment and abuse.
