However, the Social Security Administration offers three ways to apply for a new Social Security card: in person, online or by mail. Identity theft protection and monitoring services recommend that to avoid problems, it is best not to share your card or card information.
It should be noted that in some states the Social Security card is required to start a new job or to obtain a driver's license.
So, in case you have lost it, it is necessary to replace it as soon as possible. In this sense, although it is no longer common to be asked to physically show the card, it is necessary to have it at hand. Having our Social Security number is necessary to be able to carry out other procedures such as applying for a credit card or requesting a car loan.
