What do i do ?

Answer 1

Number 1,  you never ever carry your SS card with you at all!  

Number 2,  go (as stated before)  to SSA.gov and apply for a new one.  

Number 3,  you might want to alert your parents so they can (yes, I read that you're only 16)  BUT - and it has happened many times before -  alert the credit reporting agencies just in case they may want to put a 90 day alert on your file.  You'd be surprised at how many kids your age have had problems with thieves stealing their identities and starting up credit files in a minor's name.  Don't hesitate about that, do it now!

Answer 2

First off, you should off taking that out right after you used it!! Go apply for a new one- your parents will have to get it since you're a minor. Then pray no one steals you identity!!!

Answer 3

It's simple, just call or find out where the local or closet SS office is and go there with a copy of your birth certifcate and drivers license and you'll be all set after filling out some papers.

Answer 4

Yes others said... you need to re-apply for it immediately and alarm the respective authorities to get it done.

and be careful next time because its a important document and sensitive too.

Answer 5

You'll need to apply for a replacement card right away:
