Can I change my social security card to the same number?

Social security cards can be changed to the same number, but certain conditions need to be met. If the social security card is damaged, lost or needs to change personal information, the cardholder can go to the social security card service network to replace the same number card. Card replacement with the same number means that the card number of the new card is the same as that of the old card, but it needs to be re-made and updated.

When changing the same number card, the cardholder needs to provide valid identity documents and related certification materials, and pay a certain business card printing fee. After the business card is printed, the original card automatically becomes invalid, and the new card has the same legal effect as the original card.
