Using hospital records for social security card

You may wonder why it is so important to have a proper Social Security card. That card and its number are mainly to report lifetime earnings and work history from all your employers so that for future retirement or disability benefits from Social Security, the government will be able to determine your eligibility. We are not affiliated with the Social Security Office and they provide free forms by visiting them directly.

Other situations that require showing that number include when you apply for a job, open a bank account, get a driver’s license, file a tax return, get a passport, apply for a federal loan, enroll in Medicare, change your name or other pertinent information, need a replacement card, or file for the first original card.

New, changed, or replacement cards are only available directly from the Social Security Administration. Different information and documents to prove your citizenship, age, and identity are required depending on the reason for applying. If you are applying for your very first card, there are much stricter requirements, and you must submit at least TWO documents. It is preferred that you present your original birth certificate as evidence of your identity. However, if you don’t have that, using hospital records for social security card is acceptable if it is a certified copy of the United States medical record of a hospital, clinic, or doctor
that was recorded at the time of your birth.

Only certain documents can be accepted as proof, and only original documents are accepted and not copies, even if the copies are notarized. They must be current and show your name, date of birth or age, and preferably a recent photograph. They can include a U.S. driver’s license, a U.S. passport, a state-issued non-driver identification card, a U.S. military identification card, an employee or school identification card, a health insurance card but not from Medicare, or a religious record from before the age of five that shows the date of birth.

just one of the “dilemmas” that could present itself when you apply. Others include understanding the SS-5 form involved, and how to provide all the necessary documentation so that the card can be obtained in one session whether you go to the Social Security office in person, present everything through the mail, or do so online. Only residents of a select 18 states are eligible to apply online.
