I just moved and, because I'm disorganized, can't find my social security card. I have my passport, driver's license and birth certificate though. Would that be suffient proof of citizenship/identity for a human resources department?

Your passport should suffice for both proof of citizenship and proof of identity. They might also want to see your drivers license. You shouldn't even need the birth certificate, but it can't hurt to have it handy.
The employer is required to have a completed I-9 form on file for each employee.

Most employers do require that your Social Security card be on file, but the government doesn't require it, so you should be able to be hired with a promise to bring it in (get a replacement).
The form that often "requires" the Social Security card and driver's license is called the I-9 form, and a valid U.S. passport will suffice instead of both of those documents. If you're hired on, tell your employer that you can fill out the I-9 form with your passport, and if they require the Social Security card, tell them you have a replacement card on the way.
You should NOT tell your potential employer that it is on its way because you're disorganized (even during a move), however. :-)

If the human resources department doesn't take any of those id's explain to them the situation and tell them that you are waiting to be issued a new copy. But i think drivers license should do since you need your ss card to obtain one anyways. And in the meantime contact your local ss office and find out the procedure on how to obtain a new ss card.

You may not need your social because when you go through all of the paperwork for Human Res., they give you a number of options for what ID they need. You have a list to choose from and I think you need to have three out of the list. I think you have enough.
Otherwise, call the Human Res. office and ask what you will need to bring with you to complete their paperwork.
You will want to get another card if you can't find your missing one and you can do that at a local SS office with the other ID you have. They will need that number for your income withholding taxes. Ugh!

I had to go thru that not long ago and yes they accepted those that you mentioned until I got my new card ;o) But still call to make sure the company that hired you will accept them until you get your card or find it ;o) Also the social security office will give you a paper employees will accept showing your number and showing you are waiting on a new card. ;o)

Go can go to the security office and get a duplicate card. Explain to the personnel person that you misplaced your card and you will bring the social security card in ASAP.
