how do i get a copie of my childern social sercurity cards?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

you have to fill out an application for a new one. you can download one off the social security website or you can visit your local office and fill out one. if you mail in the application, you have to send an original birth certificate or other proof of identity such as shot record, or possibly their old cards if you still have them. your originals will be mailed back to you. if you visit the office, they will just make copies of your prooofs and hand them back to you.

i'm not a fan of sending stuff like that through the mail, so when i had to fill out one for myself to change to my married name, i took my birth certificate and marriage license up there for them to copy. it's aggravating to visit the office, because you will be there awhile waiting (its like the dmv). but to me worth it.
