First off I need to say up front this question is rather involved so please accept apologies in advance.

What I am wondering is can I make an application for a social security card in a state other than the one that I have residency in. When we return to the states this March from South Korea it will be only for 1 week at my brother's home in California. I would rather not have to fly all the way back to New Mexico and make an application there if I don't have to.

Background: My wife applied to have a social security card sent to her when we filled out the DS-230 form. We thought the SSC would arrive at my parents home in New Mexico. Long story short it never came. Inquiries were made in Korea through the Philippines office and she was not in the system at all. A SAVE search turned up nothing. We applied for a card and our forms were returned do to insufficient documents. We thought that we would just wait and apply in the states once the house sold. As a result we have decided to come to the states and just make an application here and try to avoid the time lag ( 6 months) and hassle of going through the Philippines.

Any insights for help would be very much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time.

Social security cards are federal, therefore it will not matter what state you apply for it.

People sometimes have a mailing address in one state but live in another for various reasons. Just make sure you have the correct documents required to apply.
