Where to get your social security card

Social security cards are issued by social security centers. If you are an individual who pays for social security, then go to the social security center and they will tell you what information to take and receive your social security card.

If you are an organization that pays for social security, then go directly to the person in charge of social security at your organization and ask for a social security card.

People who are generally eligible to apply for a social security card can make an appointment with a claim outlet by phone or go directly to a social security card claim service outlet in their street (town) to apply for a social security card (including school registration cards).
