Hi, Gail. Thanks for your comment. On your receipt there should be a local phone number for you to call and speak to someone about the status of your card. To follow up on your application for a Social Security replacement card, you may have to return to the local office where you filed your application. We hope this is resolved soon.

I live in New Mexico and need a replacement social security card. Everything I read on your website says I can get one replaced online. When I proceed it says I can’t! Why not??

Please warn people that if they enter “need to replace a lost SS card” what pops up LOOKS LIKE a legitimate site, but at the end they want $38.00! Is there anyway to replace it on line, or do I have to go in person? The local offices are all in terrible neighborhoods, and I don’t feel safe going there.
