Social Security Office Appointment

You can make an appointment by calling 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm, or directly call the local office you want to visit.

The documentation you need to bring along varies depending on what you are trying to do. At a minimum, you will need some form of identification. This might be a driver’s license, U.S. Passport, or state-issued non-driver’s identification card.
You might also need your current Social Security card and birth certificate. It is usually best to take everything you can, even if you are unsure whether you need it. It is better to carry documentation that is not required than to arrive without the proper documentation.
