Is there anything else I need to do?

[zilchfox 296]

Hey all,

 

Became a U.S. Citizen on March 19th, and I've already done the following:

- Obtained voter registration
- Obtained Passport Book & Card

- Updated citizenship status on file with current employer

 

I do know that I will still need to:

- Obtain a full-fledged drivers license, but I'll do that closer to when my current one expires in October (I'm in GA if that matters)

- Update my SSN

 

A couple of questions, too:

- Do I need a new SSN card? I already got a new SSN card when I adjusted status years ago, no longer has the "Valid for work only with DHS Authorization" wording on it, or is this just a system change?

- Do I need to contact my banks and let them know I'm now a U.S. Citizen?

 

Thanks.

SS card will stay the same since the conditions were removed

Banks?   only if you used ITIN to get the account  and never informed them of SS #

 

Congratulations

Cool. Thank you. Yeah I got my SSN early on within a couple of weeks of moving to the US on my K1, so I never used an ITIN for anything, only my SSN. 

 

Thank you!

Hi! What do you mean by full-fledged drivers license? Just curious!
