Can I Send In A Copy Of My Driver's License To Get A Replacement Social Security Card?

I need a. Replacement social security card. Must I send my drivers license in as proof of identity or can I
Send a copy. I don't like being without my drivers license.



Hi. Social Security doesn't accept photocopies as evidence, but I think you can request a replacement card online without being required to mail in your driver's license. For more information on that process, refer to the following Social Security website: https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/replacement-card.html.
