SOCIAL SECURITY CARD

[Marah 1]

Hi everyone, it's approaching two weeks my SSN was mailed to me here in Dallas Texas, and I found out that "A'' was omitted in my second name which is VICTORIA. They wrote VICTORI instead of VICTORIA. I went to Social security office at Pleasant Groove to lay a complain about  that and I was told it can't be corrected, that the name VICTORIA was longer than the space provided for second name in their data system.

Please what should I do in this kind of situation, is it something to worry about. Waiting for your kind and honest response, thanks 😊 🙏 👍

“We do not consider the middle name or suffix part of the legal name. Whether the middle name or suffix is included, omitted or incorrectly shown on evidentiary documents submitted with an SS-5 (Application for a Social Security number Card) does not matter.”

 

No need to do anything 

 

If you want,  try to get a new card with no middle name

Almost the same thing happened to my daughter's card. Full name had 28 letters (8+9+6+5), and they didn't print the last 2 letters from middle name.

Never solved that, until she was 17 and we (parents) became citizens back in 2020 and dropped our 2nd last names.
Before getting her a U.S. passport, I filed a name change case in court to drop her 2nd last name. Then used the court letter to update her last name with the local SSA office (a nightmare, as they misplaced the envelope with U.S. passport for months!)

New SS card came with valid full name (8+9+6).

Middle names don't matter per SSA policy. It is best to get SS cards issued without middle names.
