    I got mine about 6 years ago so I don't know if the requirements have changed but I didn't need a social security card but I did have to get a copy of my birth certificate from the county health department where I was born.

    Passports require 3 forms of ID now.
    Drivers Lic., SS card, birth cert. &/or old passport.
    Get your copy of SS card from I "belive"
    Socialsecurity.gov
    You can down load a form1 ??? & send it in for a new card.
    Just renewed my expired passport in Feburary, what a pain, still had to have 3 forms of ID.

    Still dont have my SS card yet.

    Their rules , so OK.

    Be right back with your info on how and whom to contact info.

    And it requires your time, physical presence and waiting time to obtain in the mail.

    Did mine in less than 20 mins, and in my hands in 10 days. Only printed and comes out of Baltimore, MD

    I have no idea where my social security card is now that Im 42 years old and havent needed it forever. Do Ineed it to apply for a passpoer and if so where do I get a copy of it ?


    I carry a copy of my birth Certificate in my wallet to piss off the jerks that demand my SSI card for ID purposes. I threw the card away in 1972. The drivers License place in Ohio got all bent outta shape when I told them to stuuf it, here is my Birth Certificate.

    SSI cards are NOT TO BE USED TO CONFIRM ID.

    This is dated 1983 and written by a mealy-mouthed jerk but is still accurate as far as I know.

    New Rules For Getting A Social Security Number And Card
    SSA Publication No. 05-10120, October 2006,


    Recent provisions in law have changed the rules for assigning a Social Security number and issuing a Social Security card. This fact sheet gives the most up-to-date information available on the documents needed to apply for a Social Security number and card.

    All documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. We cannot accept photocopies or notarized copies of documents.

    I still have my original SS card, which clearly states, in English, "Not to be used for identification". A real dilema when the government that issues the card, disobeys it's own rules. I feel like such a rebel.

    I just got my passport and IMAMCLONE is correct. You need 3 forms of ID, one of which has to be a birth certificate. One has to be issued by a government body and have a photo (i.e. Drivers License). The other can be any other form of ID. I used my work ID. You are not required to give your SSN on the paperwork or show it as ID, however not doing so may delay processing (at least that is what they tell you).

    How about :
    1) NYS Drivers License
    2) Certified Copy of BC
    3) NYS Pistol Permit

    Will these forms work for ID ?
