They are more accessible than other offices.However limit on number of people allowed inside at one time.Better to arrive early have all documents ready .Their is a machine to facilitate faster service,in multiple languages.They have a security guard so he can direct you if you have questions about seating.

The absolute worst experience. A Miss Torres was mean and rude at a hard time in my life when I lost my husband. I will be following through with this as no one should be treated so horribly.

Came here today to replace my card, Keep it mind that it's by appointment only. Security guard and the guy that helped me out were both extremely polite, calm and helpful. Went straight to the window and was out within 7 minutes. Wish the DMV was this way.. Not sure why so many 1 star ratings on this place, it's the complete opposite.

The only reason im giving this place 1 star ia because the guard was nice, how can this place be called what it is and do not provide social social security cards? Should say on the website or on maps. Good thing i have a car

How can I get a replacement social security card

Sandra Watt | Aug 24, 2018
Marissa Love | Aug 23, 2021

I’m trying to do this right now because when my parents divorced they are both control freaks one of them had to help my brother and my sister and my Social Security card and the other had to have all the birth certificates and I’m the only one who they lost the Social Security card and now here I am applying for EDD and SS a.gov is not working because I went all the way down to that one is the office today, just need to get a replacement card and I called the number and if you cannot do it at the physical location in La Mesa. You have to go online, make an account, abs then once you’re logged in you can press replacement card And they will send one out to you within 5 to 7 business days however it’s Saturday morning at 7:50 and the website says that they are open from 7:00 AM-11:00 PM. I just called them and they’re not open till 9am. Idk if the website is offline until they open. Also there’s no way that I can create an account bc it’s an invalid page.

Should I carry my social security card with me when I travel abroad. I have a valid u.s. passport

Dolores Foley | Aug 24, 2018
D. V. | Aug 24, 2018

A passport is all you need to prove citizenship. A social security card only proves that you have a number, which is basically useless outside of the uninted states.

Do they issue you the card here

Abram Santos | Aug 24, 2018
D. V. | Aug 24, 2018

Card centers are downtown, el cajon, and national city field offices only

Do I need to make an appointment to talk about filing for my social security? I could apply online but I want to speak to someone before.

Mike Martinez | Aug 24, 2018
Scott Kennedy | Aug 24, 2018

Unfortunately, most SSA offices do not take appointments. Even if you do, you'd be waiting on hold for 45 minutes before talking to someone. The good news is that this particular office runs smoothly and is not over-crowded, so a walk-in visit at open will get you in and out within an hour.

Whereb do I go to change address. The post office gave a change of address using the former address
