Lost SSN
- Thread starter sidpri
- Start date
What should be done if
- One has lost his SSN card
- Cannot recall the SSN #
- Has lost last year's tax returns
- Is no longer in the US
This is wierd, but a real situation. Any guidance would be appreciated
Thanks
If you are no longer a resident of the USA, why do you need your SSN#. Now if you were in the USA, all you need to do is visit the SSN office with appropriate IDs to request a new card.

The person might keep on coming back to the US for short visits, also how do we prevent SSN misuse (ID theft)
Not much you can do, but if you're not residing in the United States then there's not much you need to worry about even if someone does steal your identity.
Thanks for the response.

To prevent SSN misuse, you need to report that your card is stolen ASAP. This will aid you in disputing any issues that may arise later. By reporting the lost to the agency they may red flag it and thus possible cancel that SSN

even though you have lost your SSN card and tax returns, The paycheck from ADP will normally have the SSN. If you have lost those also, I cannot think of any other option other than reporting to SSA.
