Contract allows SSA to verify applicants marriage data and issue last name change replacement SSN cards due to marriage by submitting an online application.

The Social Security Administration is enabling applicants to seamlessly update their Social Security number cards with a new last name following marriage by submitting an online application. This process authorizes the agency to verify marriage documentation electronically, ensuring the accuracy and legitimacy of name change requests without requiring in-person visits or physical submissions. The system supports efficient processing by automating the validation of marriage records, streamlining the issuance of replacement cards, and reducing administrative burden for both applicants and agency staff. The initiative is part of a broader effort by the Social Security Administration to modernize its services through digital integration, focusing on user convenience and data integrity. While the contract forecast does not specify a solicitation number, set-aside type, or NAICS code, it clearly identifies the agency office responsible as the Office of the General Counsel and directs interested parties to an official web portal for further information. This online verification and card issuance capability marks a significant step toward reducing procedural delays and enhancing accessibility for individuals seeking to reflect their legal name changes on official federal documents.
