Is there a cost to get a Social Security card or number?
The Social Security Administration does not charge for a Social Security card.
Some private companies, not affiliated with Social Security or any other government agency, charge fees for this service. However, these companies offer no advantage and you will have to provide documents directly to Social Security.
Be cautious about giving your private information, especially your Social Security number, to anyone.
