Internet Social Security Number Replacement Card (iSSNRC) is a secure automated Social
Security Number (SSN) application process, which allows members of the public who
meet certain criteria to apply for a replacement SSN card electronically. As part
of the online application, the Social Security Administration (SSA) compares an applicant’s
social security number (SSN) against SSA sources and non-SSA sources, commonly referred
to as internal (i.e. SSA) and external (i.e., non-SSA) sources of information. We
compare an applicant’s SSN and biographical data (e.g., name, date of birth) submitted
with his or her online application to the Numberholder’s Numident record. In addition,
SSA verifies applicant information with external (non-SSA) data sources. For example,
we verify the applicant’s U.S. issued driver’s license or state issued Identification
card with the issuing state of record.
