Is There Any Way For Me To Be Able To Get A Replacement Social Security Card?

I have a state issued ID, but need to replace my social security card. I am a permanent resident but my residential card is expired. I do have a w-2 with my current employer. Is there anyway for me to get a replacement social security card?

Hi. Social Security won't accept expired documents as evidence. The exact types of proof that you'll need to show Social Security in order to obtain a replacement card depends on several factors, so I would suggest reviewing the following Social Security website: https://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm.

Best, Jerry
