Hi,

I remember reading a while back that people go to the social security office to report that they became US Citizens? Is this necessary?

What if my immigration status or citizenship changed?

If your immigration status changed or you became a U.S. citizen, you should tell Social Security so your records can be updated. To get your immigration status or citizenship corrected, you need to show documents that prove your new status or citizenship. Only certain documents can be accepted as proof of citizenship for new and replacement cards. These include your U.S. passport, a Certificate of Naturalization or a Certificate of Citizenship. If you are not a U.S. citizen, Social Security will ask to see your current immigration documents.

Been some reports of DOS delays in issuing a US passport because they couldn't find that person listed in that new SS database for citizenship status. Don't really understand this because they have your original certificate of naturalization in their hands.

Since our nearest SS office is 37 miles away, updated that SS application form, have my gals sign that, grab whatever, latest was that certificate. Get there before 8:00 AM, they never open the door at that time, usually ten minutes later, but a government office. Show them the document, they copy it, won't take your perfectly clear copies, and that's it. Can also mail in your certificate, but risk never seeing it again. About two weeks later, see a new card in the mail.
