RM 10205.410 Exception to SSN Card Limits for Legend Change

When a number holder (NH) reaches their yearly or lifetime SSN card limits, an SSN replacement card may still be issued if:

  • the NH reports a change in their immigration status or citizenship, and

  • the restrictive legend is removed or changed.

An application for a replacement SSN card based on a change in immigration status or citizenship that does not affect the restrictive legend counts toward the yearly and lifetime limits, as in the case of permanent resident aliens who attain U.S. citizenship.
