Social Security Question

When I go to SS to change my information, do I need my parents SS #s?

Thanks

I didn't. Just your marriage license and old SS Card.

Thanks, the form I printed from online asked for that, maybe I have the wrong form.

I think that's only if you're under 18.

On a form that I printed out it asked for your parent's SS#. What if you don't have your old
SS Card?

I changed by SS card in the mail- SS numbers for your parents are only required if you are applying for a SS number for the fist time. If you have an existing SS number, you only need to reference yours. I sent in a certified copy of my marriage license and they sent me a new card with my marriage license back in the mail within weeks. It was really fast!

ps- you don't need to to send in your old card.

I can go in person because I have a SS office in my neighborhood. but it's good to know that they accept certified copies of your marriage license.

Did you change your passport yet? if so then did you have to mail in your original marrige license?

I haven't changed my passport yet but the on-line instruction forms only say that you have to fill out a form, send your old passport (even if it's expired) in with a certified copy of your marriage license and 2 new photos and you will receive a new one in the mail,

Certified Copy meaning the original? Because that's what they want.

Re: Social Security Question

I would like to know as well. But for changing your passport they want the original.

Re: Social Security Question

you can get a certified copy by contacting your town hall that issued the certificate.

Changing my SS was a piece of cake - just went to the fooice with my old card and marriage certificate. Took only a few minutes.

I just did this today.

You do not need to fill in your parents ss#'s- leave it blank.

Go to the ss office with your completed form, bring your drivers license and your marriage license.
That's it!


The lady said doing it by mail is more difficult.

Re: Social Security Question

actually, i just got back from the SS office in freeport. and all i needed was my driver's license and my old SS card. but on the form to fill out (get it on line and fill out before you go - it saves time) you do need your mom and dad's social.
all and all i was back to work in an hour. and should have the new card in 2 weeks and then the fun of the change at DMV and the bank

Re: Social Security Question

oh and i also needed my marriage certificate.

advice - better to go there in person. i was scared to send my 'good copies' of my license and marriage certificate.
and the freaks you see on line there -TOTALLY WORTH IT :)
