Can I Get A Replacement Social Security Card At A Different Office From Where The Original Was Issued?

I used to live in sacramento ca and my ssc and my childrens were stolen, we currently live in costa mesa ca. am i able to get replacement cards here in costa mesa or do i need to go to sacrament ca?

Hi. Social Security is a federal program, so you can apply for replacement Social Security cards at any Social Security office. You may even be able to apply online: https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/replacement-card.html.

Best, Jerry
