[QUOTE="donna723, post: 18584, member: 1883"] I keep hearing that you're NOT supposed to carry your SS card around with you - that you should keep it in a safe place at home. If your purse or wallet was lost or stolen, the less personal info you're carrying around, the better. I had to get a copy of my SS card a year or so ago - it had been kind of "missing" since 1968! I just had to go in to the office and fill out the paperwork and show two picture ID's. I used my drivers license and my State Employee ID card that has a picture on it. I got the replacement card in the mail in a week or so. It was a real adventure trying to get a copy of my sons birth certificate from Florida though! Supposedly you can do it online ... yeah, right! At first, they weren't going to let me get it since he's over 21 (but I'm the one with the computer!) I had to fax a color copy of both sides of my drivers license to them so they would believe I was his mother. Then, they couldn't find him! I had given them his full name, the exact date, even the name of the hospital. The county said they couldn't find him! And they asked really intelligent questions like ... was I sure of the name! Huh?? And was I sure I had the right date! Yeah lady, I'm his MOTHER! I'm pretty sure I was THERE when he was born! The county referred me to Vital Records for the State, and the State couldn't find him either! Never did find out what the problem was, but they eventually decided that maybe he HAD been born when I said he was, and that maybe I DID remember exactly what I had named him, and we finally got it in the mail!
