Common questions

Social Security Card. General questions →

Does SSA charge for a replacement card?
No. SSA's fee for a routine Social Security card replacement is $0. Our service fee covers the wizard, SS-5 prep, application review, office routing, and Lost Card Guarantee (if purchased).
What ID do I need to send?
SSA accepts U.S. passport, driver's license, state ID, military ID, employee ID, and a few others. We recommend a secondary ID (passport card, employee ID) rather than your only driver's license, because you won't have this ID for 10–14 business days while SSA processes the application.
Will SSA return my original ID?
Yes. SSA mails your original ID back to you separately from the new card, typically within 2–4 weeks. They return it via standard USPS.
How long until my new card arrives?
Most cards arrive within 10–14 business days from the day SSA receives your package. Allow another 3–5 days for USPS transit on both ends. The Lost Card Replacement Guarantee ($12 add-on) covers a fresh replacement kit at no extra service fee if the card doesn't arrive within 30 days.
Why can't you deliver my application to SSA for me?
SSA's rules require the applicant to personally sign the SS-5 and mail original ID documents. Paid third-party agents aren't permitted to submit on someone's behalf for routine replacements. We do everything legally possible (prep, route, package, track), but the final signature and the drop at USPS is yours.
What's the difference between Smart and Premier?
Smart ($39): you print the SS-5 and shipping label at home, fold them onto your own envelope, drop at USPS. Premier ($89): we mail you a complete kit with a printed SS-5, addressed envelope, Certified Mail postage prepaid. Just sign and drop it in the mailbox.
Do you store my Social Security number?
No. We never collect or store any SSN values, not yours and not your parents'. Where SSA's form asks for SSNs, we ask only whether you know them, then leave a blank space on the SS-5 for you to write the number in pen.
