How Can I Get A Social Security Card If I Have No Proof Of Identification?

Hi Larry my name is Jose I was wondering how would I get my social security card if I have no identification no birth certificate or anything to prove my identification to receive a new ssc?

Hi Jose. The short answer is that you can't get a Social Security card without presenting proof of your identity. The following Social Security website explains what documents can be used as proof of identity for the purpose of obtaining a new or replacement Social Security card: https://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm.
