What is the procedure of getting an ID?

[longway 0]

I'm in the middle of AOS right now. The Employyment Autorization should be on the way and I can't wait to be able to apply for a job... So tired of stayin in the house!!!

I have an SSN form previous visit (student exchange, this is how me and my now husband met). However I don't have a SSN with my new last name but I've been told that the number won't change.

I forgot to say we got married on K1 visa if it matters... So I want to get an US ID... What do I need and where do I need to go?

Also do I need a new SSC and can I apply for it in this situation?

Thank you for your time and responses!!!

assuming you have filed your AOS package, you will get your new EAD card in 3 months, then you can legally work in USA. but before you get your EAD, I am afraid it's illegal to work here, although you have a Social security card from your previous stay.

The procedure and requirements vary from one state to another. Many states will require you to have proof of lawful presence before they'll issue a state ID, and many states are very particular about what sort of proof they'll accept.

You can't legally work in the US until you've been authorized to do so. A state issued ID and a Social Security card do not constitute permission to work. You'll need to wait until you get the EAD card before you can legally apply for a job.

What you need all depends on your state. http://www.dmvnv.com/50_state_dmv_list.html has links to all the state's department or motor vehicle sites. The DMV usually handles state ID's to, but you can check your state and their requirements through the links.

You can change your name on the Social Security Card now, regardless of how your state does things.

Below is a link to the things you need to change you name on your SS card. You'll probably have to use your passport for an ID. When my wife and I went, we had the marriage certificate, her passport with current and valid I-94. I'd bring your notice of having applied for the AOS to, just in case they get picky. Its best to go directly to a center and request the name change, otherwise you'll not have important documents until they return them.
