Social Security - Brooklyn/Queens Ladies

For all you ladies who currently reside in Brooklyn or Queens must apply for their new ss card in the Brooklyn or Queens office only. I went to the SS office today in Midtown and was told that I must go to the downtown Brooklyn office to change my name.

I know this also applies for Queens as well.

I was so upset because I know ladies who have gone to various office in NYC who live in Staten Island and NJ and were able to get their new cards there.

I think i have to go to the office in Jamaica. So annoying. I dont feel like schlepping over there.

I know, imagine how upset I was when I actually went to the midtown office on my lunch hours and sat there for a 1/2 hour only to be told this. I even called prior to me going there to bew sure!

I know right? Thats so frustrating. there is one in Glendale I was going to go to but then i found out they dont do name changes. its a ss office how hard is it to change a name that you have to go to a specific location??

No you do not...the DMV only requires your current licence and you marriage certificate. You have to fill out one form to change your name and one to change your title and registration.

I went straight to DMV after SS, and all I was able to change it-I had my marriage certificate and letter from SS..nobody said anything. I went to the DMV on 878 (maybe its Lawrence?)

It's not so bad...I was dreading it, but I went to Jamaica, and I was in and out in 15 minutes..it was around 11am.

---

It stinks that they would not let you change your name. Check their website:

What location did you go to?
I hate that things vary from location to location!

Do I need my current SS card to change my name? I lost my SS card so I wanted to get a new one with my new name.

---

No..I had lost mine too (since HS ).



For those that went to the DMV: Do they take your old license away???

I know it really stinks . I went to the one in Jamaica since it's kind of close to the SS office. I checked their website and i had my marriage certificate but when i got there they told me i needed my original SS card with my new name.
