I lost my social security card.

I lost my wallet, and It had both my only Social Security card and form of ID in it. Help me.?

  • I just recently lost my wallet and it had both my only Social Security card and form of ID in it. I am needing to apply for a new Social Security card and ID, but both the DMV and Social Security Office are butting heads. In order to apply for a new Social Security card I need a form of ID, and in order to apply for a new ID I need a social security card. I do not know how to get around this. Please give me some advice.

  • Answer:

    Social Security needs to see a certified copy of your birth certificate and some form of ID. Go to their website and it gives you a whole list of documents which can be used as ID. Good grief. And stop carrying your card around with you. Keep it at home in a safe place where you keep other documents and use it only when necessary. And then contact all three credit agencies and tell them about the theft and then hope and pray that whoever found the wallet doesn't steal your ID. And tell everyone you know NOT to carry their cards around with them unless they have a desire to have their IDs stolen too.

You did the stupidest of stupidest things anybody could do. Never ever carry your social security card on your person ever. Your problem is trying to prove who you are but the bigger possible problem is identity theft because you gave the person who found your wallet all the information to clean out your accounts and to get new credit cards under your name that you will be charged for. Your only hope is that honest person finds your wallet. As for proof show the SS people some W-2 tax forms with you SSN on them if you can't locate your birth certificate.

Was there credit card in the wallet? If so, call the card company, tell them, and they should be able to tell you if your card is being used, and where, and the cops will arrest the thief.
