Next steps after Citizenship?

[LvivLovers 39]

I know the Social Security card needs to be updated to reflect Citizenship. Does anyone know if this updated information gets carried over to the Passport, Driver's License, or anything else? Trying to figure out if we need to update the SS card before applying for the Passport. Also, does anyone have a guide/link with info on updating the SS card?

Take a look at this very recent discussion in this forum, it is related to your question.

Changing to 'citizen' as Social Security

I have been in the US since 1999. Just recently became a citizen, and I've never changed my card this whole time. Was not aware there was a need for change. If someone has an answer to the contrary I'd love to hear it.

Ok...I read the accompanying thread thoroughly. However, I was able to obtain a new US passport without any issues with my SS card. So, yes I believe I must still get a new SS card, but it did not affect my passport. Holding it in hand now

SSA needs to be updated as to immigrations status, this WILL affect your benifits later.

NON-Immigrant --> Immigrant, and Immigrant --> Citizen should be reported.
