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

Thanks

I'm positive that you don't need your parents' SS#...at first I thought you did from the form and called my mom freaking out...she didn't know my dad's off hand and we couldn't get in touch with him...then I saw it is only for first time appliers

see page 1 #8B and #9B

You do not need your parents ss#'s or your old ss card.
I didn't have mine with me and she didn't ask for it.

I needed my Parents SS#. Don't forget your Marriage license!

Re: Social Security Question

Do you really need your driver's license? I misplaced mine a couple of months ago (I haven't driven in about 5 years) but I do have a passport. Now that the New Year is here, I have to start working on changing my name.

Re: Social Security Question

you only need a state or fed id with your old name and something with your new name

so birth cert....passport...license...military ID...etc will do for the old

marriage license (or new driver's license - if you go to DMV first) will do for new

also you can still hyphenate when you get there (maybe my woman was extra nice, but it seems like you can put whatever you want...DH was able to drop his middle initial)
