Do you need to send in your real driver's license as proof of identity to get a new social security card?

Question

Due to a name change I need to get a new corrected social security card. They require original documents of identification, and one says that they MUST see your driver's license. I don't have a state-issued non-driver ID card or a passport and I will not pay to get one. They say in the directions that they cannot accept photocopied documents and that they will return all documents to you. But how can I send in my driver's license and still drive?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Never mail identification.

Answer 3

My wife just did the same thing just a colored copy front and back

Answer 4

I don't think you have to send it any where. Just stop in to the local social security office. That's what I did.

Answer 5

All you have to do is go to your local Social Security office and turn in all your documents and show your drivers license.
