How long does it take to receive Social Security replacement card?

Hello just wondering how long it takes to receive a social security replacement card...after filing for it a social security office?

Thanks for your time

AmberHow long does it take to receive Social Security replacement card?If they do the input while you are in the office (which they normally do), it usually takes about a week. The official time frame given on the receipt is two weeks, so people don't start calling if the mail takes a few days longer than normal.



If they have to verify documents with the source, it takes longer. Occasionally they have to verify immigration documents and birth certificates (only needed for a replacement card if the birth date has to be corrected).
