Mailing legal documents for new SS card?

[kkate7617]

Hi y’all! So I finally received my EAD card (marriage based), called DMV to get new drivers license, they said before I do that I need to get new social security card (I got one when I came here on J-1 visa years ago, and need to change my name on it due to marriage). Anyways then I called local social security office, they said they suspended all in person services and everything gets done via mail. Which is fine BUT they don’t take copies, you have to mail in an original passport, marriage certificate and EAD card. I get sick to my stomach thinking about mailing 3 of the most important documents I have to my name. Has any of y’all done it safely and got your documents back and everything went well?

I feel the same way. This has delayed my name change.

I did it in August. I mailed my passport, EAD, marriage certificate and the ss5 form. I sent my docs with certified mail and requested a signature, so the postman wouldnt leave it unattended in a mail box. Everything came back safely 3 weeks later.

I was also worried when my husband had to send a very important documents to update his SS card, he mailed them with certified mail , the documents were sent back to us after 5 weeks and the social security card came 10 days after that .
