My social security card has my maiden name and valid to work only with DHS authorization only. My ead has my married name. 

 

I just got a job offer but they said I need to change the name on my ssn before I can proceed.

I called SS office and they said I have to send in my original documents to change the name.

 

Please, who has done it before and how safe is it? 

 

I need an advise.

Every now and then mail gets lost - that's the risk. I sent in passport, marriage certificate and I-94 and everything worked out 😪. Originals were returned a couple of days after and I received my SSN around 4-5 weeks after applying.

Wow, its good to know you got your originals back.. looking forward to getting mine.

 

Your original came first before the SSN

Hi, I hope someone sees this but, along with the marriage certificate and EAD. Do I also need to send them my original SS card? :) Thank you! Looking forward to hear from someone as I need to send the documents today.

Yes we had to send in the original SS card, but they did send it back!
