Just got back from DMV and SS...

In and out of both places within two hours...

Soc Sec first...only needed your old card and marriage certificate. No cost...you get it in two weeks...

DMV second, $5.00 charge, got to keep my old license until the new one comes in....only needed my old license and marriage certificate...

Re: Just got back from DMV and SS...

Thank you for an inspiring post!

I have been meaning to do this for a while but have dreaded spending the whole day in line. Maybe it won't be so bad after all!

You lucked out, the DMV in the city asked me for my new SS card and I didn't have it yet, had to go back

Re: Just got back from DMV and SS...

For the SS office a passport is fine, i actually asked her if i could keep my old SS one and she said no (it had my cute grammer school signature on it)....oh well....

My best advice to everyone is you don't need to take a whole day off. The SS opens at 9...take a half a day, be at the SS when it opens and then the DMV before 10 or 11 and you should be done by 12...i was amazed at how fast i went...i am sure it depends on which office you go to.

I find the DMV in Garden City to be the best and quickest.

I am now going to change my bank accounts and credit cards. I am doing my passport last since i am not traveling anywhere anytime soon and i have to send in an original copy to the passport place. Rather have everything done first.

Thats weird because the lady asked what proof i had besides marriage certificate. They should of been willing to take an old license, passport and/or birth certificate. I think you only need to fulfill those point systems they had for ID. They might of made an error just asking you for your SS card.
