In this case, a Social Security card can be submitted as one of the forms of secondary ID. When primary evidence such as an original or certified birth certificate is not available, an applicant can present a combination of documents that can be used to verify personal identity. Would they list anything else that needed to be corrected in the letter that was sent or should I call and ask? Are you more likely to have an application denied because you used the wrong copy of a birth certificate even if you're now correcting it?Īnswer: Social Security cards are not acceptable as a primary identification document but can be used as a secondary form of ID together with other records. Will that be acceptable? The letter says these are acceptable forms of identification but this site lists that social security cards are not acceptable forms of identificationĪlso, does the process start over again, or do they just wait for the correct documents to arrive? I was planning on traveling in three months and I want to make sure that they have everything they need this time so hopefully it will be back in time to leave as I planned.
I have the correct copy of birth certificate, social security card, driver's license, and marriage certificate.
