What do you mean update?  Your SSN remains the same number for life.

After you become USC you have to update social security office to be eligible for certain benefits which are only applicable for USC.

 

Number change or not you have to update. 

 

I am not sure if we can go to any office for this update or it has ot be local SS office.

I'm sure it can be any office, as SS is federal, and there are no local differences.

I'm pretty sure you can use any SSA office... I'm about to find out next week lol. I have to update my records, there is one close to where I work (other county). So I can give you an update if it worked or not 😊.

Hi All,

 

Can anyone please tell me regarding update in social security after Naturalization .

Can I go to any SS office in US or does it have to be local office where you live.

 

Thanks!

I just went to the office close to my work (different county). I had no problems at all, she knew what I was coming for because it already showed up in the system. I had to show her my ID and certificate and make sure everything in the system was correct.  Smooth and easy!

How did the system know what you were going in for? Could you make an online appointment?

No, I didn't make an appointment. But she probably already pulled my SSN number in the system right before she called me to her window (my guess lol). She said good morning your here to update your records to US citizenship? It's been almost a month since I became an citizen. But it was smooth and easy for me.

That’s kind of bizarre..if they can do that /know that why don’t they just set the system to automatically do the citizenship update rather than making us schlep in?!

Because they need to see the proof "US passport or certificate" 😅

Even though the only way they can know is if one of those has been issued. This really should be automatic. Uscis said 840k or something like that people naturalized last year. That’s somewhere like 1-2 million man hours per year wasted waiting in SSA offices, if not more, to show them something they already know

Hmmm...did you fill out the nature of your visit in the check-in kiosk by any chance? Maybe that's what she saw in the system.
