Title: Social Security Number Card Applications (3855P) 
Abstract:

We revised our regulations to allow applicants for a Social Security number (SSN) card to apply by completing a prescribed application and submitting the required evidence without completing a paper for SS-5. We also removed the word "documentary" from our description of certain evidence requirements. These administrative changes will simplify the SSN card application and provide flexibility to allow for the use of electronic processes which will result in greater access and ease of use for card applicants. In addition, we replaced "Immigration and Naturalization Service" with "Department of Homeland Security" to reflect that agency's name change. These changes are administrative in nature and do not substantively affect eligibility or evidentiary requirements.
