Social Security update after Naturalization

Hi, I was naturalized yesterday. I was told to go to the local Social Security Office and update my records there as well. I do understand WHY I need to do this but do I have to do this in person or can I do it online or fill in a form (SS-5?) and email it to them?

I have missed work many times waiting in line for during the greencard process and then again duringthe naturalization process i..e, finger printing, interview, the oath, passport etc etc. I am very proud to be an American but I dont want to wait in line any more.

Has anyone had any experience in updating the SS records without going in person?
 
You definitely have to go there physically and present proof of US citizenship (US passport or your natz. certificate).

But it's not an urgent matter; delay it until it's convenient for you. Try to find out which days or times of day are busiest and avoid those. Time it right and you'll be in and out of there in less than 20 minutes.
