Adoption

SSN help

I know that I could just google this, but I think someone here probably has the answer...

We finally got Luke's birth certificate so tomorrow I'm going to run to the SS office to get him a SSN/card so we can file our taxes.

Anything I need to bring with me besides his birth certificate and adoption decree? (and obviously ID for myself)

Re: SSN help

  • We had to have her immunization record to "prove" she was still alive.  Even though I had her with me.  I've had a couple of other friends who also had to do this when getting SS cards for their children.  You may not need it, but it definitely will save you a trip if you do!

  • we needed a copy of medical records and his birth certificate.. and make sure your going to the downtown ss card office. there is a special one just for getting new cards! and get there right at 9 or you will wait forever!

  • Medical records?!? So I have to go to the clinic and have them make copies for me? Ugh. This is a pain in the rear.

    I'm going to the St. Cloud office, which shouldn't be as busy hopefully.

  • I went onto the SSA website to see what I needed. We were doing a name change instead of a new card, so I brought every piece of adoption paperwork I could find.

  • I had to do brand new numbers for both boys - i brought birth certificates and adoption decrees, and of course ID for myself. I also needed to know DH's SSN too (which I have memorized) I just went to the SSA website as well.
  • did you call and make sure that you can get the card there? we went to a local one and they sent us downtown on chicago...

  • I didn't call, one of my daycare kids was recently adopted and her dad said that's where they went. I'd better double check, you know how dads can be sometimes.

    I didn't know this and had to go back with Ben's immunization record.  I wished I had asked before I went.

  • I would call and try to speak with someone before had. We took Decree and Birth Certificate to get new number with new name.
