maybe they'll deport you back to poland

9/28/2007 11:23:44 AM

There's a form you have to fill out. It's not a huge deal.

9/28/2007 11:23:46 AM

probably no more than you are used to getting on a nightly basis

ZING!

so just to clarify, you need a drivers license and the original copy of your birth certificate(not a photocopy)?

9/28/2007 11:40:54 AM

yep, that'll work.

i just took my passport

9/28/2007 11:43:03 AM

My sister did it too after she got married, didn't take long.

9/28/2007 11:43:33 AM

is there a chance i dont need my original birth certificate?

the drivers license isnt a problem but the rules site made it sound like i needed a birth certificate also...and i read on another part of the rules how it cant be a photocopy of the birth certificate(which blows cause the original is at home an hour away)

9/28/2007 11:44:40 AM

it has to be certified (e.g. with a seal)

photocopies aren't certified

i know it's stupid, but they're as strict as the DMV when it comes to accepting documents, especially for proof of citizenship.

just take your passport, it's much easier.

dont have a passport

only been on an airplane once and that was in 1995

i'm currently looking on Ohio's birth certificate government page, its 16.50 i think for a certified one

9/28/2007 11:49:49 AM

yeah, it's not too bad

in NC it's like $15 for the first one and $2 for each additional one after the 1st one. last time i went i just got like 5 copies.

oh and you should get a passport - it's a handy thing to have especially if you get an opportunity to travel out of the country.. it takes like 4 months to get that shit, yo.

9/28/2007 11:50:43 AM

thanks...the 5 copies thing is a good idea, just to have some extra ones for cheap...and good idea on the passport...might as well try to get the passport now if its a 4 month wait

9/28/2007 11:54:32 AM

went, sat for about 45 minutes, and realized i would have to go tomorrow because of the fucking horrendous wait

10/1/2007 1:10:49 PM

if the line there gets too bad they'll open up an express window for people getting new SS cards, at least they did when i had to do this...

also, i only needed my driver's license and something showing where i currently live

10/1/2007 1:14:42 PM

was it before like august of 06? according to the website, the rules were changed in 06

i was number 276...when they started calling numbers they called for 258...when i left they were at like 263...i had class at 1:45 so i was like fuck it

10/1/2007 1:16:15 PM

you have to go to the ssa and wait for like a million hours while a grumpy fat guy in a security uniform yells at everyone and complains about how he hates his job and threatens to kick you out if you keep playing games on your cell phone
