SOCIAL SECURITY VERIFICATION QUESTIONS
​
Q. I don’t have my Social Security Card. Can I use my birth certificate?
No. It’s your name and Social Security number that need to be verified.
​
Q. I don’t have my Social Security Card. How do I get a new copy?
You can request one online here: https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/replacement-card.html. Or, if you can’t use the online application, fill out the Application for a Social Security Card (pdf) and submit it to the Social Security Administration along with documentation. This is not a quick process, so give yourself plenty of time.
You can only receive 3 replacement Social Security Cards in a year, and 10 over your lifetime. (An exception may be made if you provide evidence from an official source that a Social Security card is required.)
DRIVER’S LICENCE/STATE ID QUESTIONS
Q. I don’t have a valid driver’s license or state ID?
You can request a replacement or renewal driver’s license or state ID at the Official NCDMV: Online Services (ncdot.gov)
You can bring in your temporary driver’s license, along with the expired license, as a placeholder. Alternatively, if you have another form of government-issued, photo ID, you can bring that in.
Q. Somebody made a mistake, and my name wasn’t spelled correctly on one or more documents. Is that okay?
Not really, sorry. You may need to provide a signed statement, additional documentation, and/or get one of your documents corrected (depending on the exact nature of the problem). We realize dealing with government (or school) bureaucracy can be frustrating, but we need to report accurate information to the NC Cosmetic Board of Art Examiners.
