f your Social Security card has been stolen, you can apply for a replacement card. Usually, the only time you will need to produce your card is when you apply for employment.

You can replace your card for free if it is lost or stolen. However, you are limited to three replacement cards in a year and 10 during your lifetime. Legal name changes and other exceptions do not count toward these limits. For example, changes in noncitizen status that require card updates may not count toward these limits. Also, you may not be affected by these limits if you can prove you need the card to prevent a significant hardship.
To get a replacement card:

* Complete an Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5); and
* Show us documents proving:
o U.S. citizenship (or immigration status and work eligibility); and
o Identity.
* Take (or mail) your completed application and documents to your local Social Security office.

For details about evidence requirements and for more information, see Documents You Need for a Social Security Card.

When you apply for a replacement card, also ask Social Security to review your earnings records to ensure they are correct and that no one else is using your number to work. Likewise, verify your earnings each time you get your annual Social Security Statement.

What if my card is lost or stolen?

You can replace your card or your child’s card for free if it is lost or stolen. However, you are limited to three replacement cards in a year and 10 during your lifetime. Legal name changes and other exceptions do not count toward these limits. For example, changes in noncitizen status that require card updates may not count toward these limits. Also, you may not be affected by these limits if you can prove you need the card to prevent a significant hardship.

To get a replacement card, you will need to:

Complete an Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5);
Present a recently issued document to show your identity;
Show evidence of your U.S. citizenship if you were born outside the United States and did not show proof of citizenship when you got your card; and
Show evidence of your current lawful noncitizen status if you are not a U.S. citizen.
Your replacement card will have the same name and number as your previous card.

Try calling the social security office. If the card has been stolen then so has your identity. Watch any bills and/or statements that come in the mail for purchases that you didn't make. Alert the proper authorities so as not to be held accountable.

You don't really need the card just the number.
