Current Maine Social Security Card Replacement Tips
If you have lost your Social Security card, and you reside in the state of Maine, there are certain steps that you need to take to procure a new one. It is a very easy process, one that will only take you a few hours of your time, and the new card will be sent within a week or two. There are also precautions that you need to consider, especially if you believe that your card was stolen. Here are the steps that you must take to obtain your new Maine Social Security card replacement, and also protect yourself from the potential of identity theft.
How To Replace A Social Security Card
There are two ways to replace a Social Security card. The first is to do this at a local Social Security office. If you live in one of the smaller cities such as Augusta, Lewiston, Saco, Auburn or Waterville, or even larger cities such as Rockland, South Portland, Biddleford, Bangor or Portland itself, there will be offices close by that you can visit. If you would prefer not traveling due to the distance, or time constraints, you do it all online, either with our help by clicking the button or on the SSA website. Once there, you can create an account, or simply signed into your existing account, to go through the process of obtaining your Maine Social Security card replacement.

Documents Needed To Start The Process
You will need proof of your identity to begin this process. Most people will have a US driver’s license. If you do not drive, and only have a state issued non-driver identity card, that will also work. You can also use your US passport to complete the process. It is also possible to use your US birth certificate for this purpose. If you are at the physical office, they will give you the application to request a replacement card. It will take just a few minutes to fill everything out, and with copies of your proof of identity, this can then be sent into the Social Security Administration to receive your card.

How To Protect Yourself If Your Social Security Card Was Stolen
if you believe that your Social Security card was stolen, you will want to contact your local police department to submit a report. You will also need to contact the Social Security Administration to report the same. It is also highly recommended that you check your credit score, bank accounts, credit card companies, and any other financial accounts that you have to make sure that no one has been using these accounts.

Be sure to report your Social Security card stolen, and to verify no unauthorized charges or deductions have shown up on your financial accounts. In no time at all, you will have your new Social Security card by following these simple steps.
