** If you need an original card (i.e. You were never assigned a Social Security number before), you must show proof (or evidence) of identity.

Identity:
Proof of identity requires a valid passport or an original birth certificate along with a notarized photograph. A valid passport can usually be used to establish your true identity.

Name Change:
If you have had a change of name after having been issued your registration card, you must apply to Social Security to have our records changed to reflect your new name. Good documentary evidence must be submitted to establish your entitlement to use the name being applied for. Examples include a passport with your new name, marriage certificate, or any court procedure that changes your name. Additionally, you will be required to complete the Change of Name Form.

Good Evidence:
Social Security will not accept photocopies of documents as evidence. You must submit original documents or certified copies by the custodian of the record. If your documents do not meet these requirements, we cannot properly process any application.

Registration Procedures:
Persons registering for the first time are expected to submit a completed application Employee Registration Form along with one of the following documents:
** a valid passport ; or
** a certified birth certificate;

Replacement of Cards:
Persons who were already registered using the original Social Security card, and wish to obtain the new and improved plastic laminated Social Security card should either bring along their original card or the afore-mentioned documents to support their application for the new card.

The Registration Card:
The registration card shall bear the name, photograph, date of birth, registration number, nationality, gender and signature of the Insured Person. The card shall also bear the issue and expiration dates that are applicable. If an entry on the registration card is amended in any way the card shall be invalid and should be returned to the Social Security’s office.

Charges for Social Security Card:
The first picture ID card is free of charge for persons who are registering for the first time, and for persons who are ‘trading in’ their previous registration card. Trading in a card means that you are presenting the old out-dated card to be exchanged for the new and improved laminated card.
** Any replacement ID card issued after the first new card will cost EC$100.00
** An exchange of ID Card after the first new card because of name change will be EC$100.00
