Mailing a completed Social Security form

Where do I mail a completed Social Security form?


The address that you use to mail a completed form will vary by the situation.  Use the following guidelines to determine the proper mailing address:

  1. If a Social Security office has mailed you a form for completion, mail it back to the requesting office.  They may have provided a return envelope for this purpose;  
  2. Certain forms have specific mail boxes that receive them and these will be designated on the form;
  3. If you are mailing form SS-5 (Application for a Social Security Card) we have special mailing instructions at  Where should I send my completed Application for a Social Security Card?; or
  4. If none of the above are true, mail the form to your local office.  To find the office address, use our Local Office Search

Rather than mailing a form to Social Security consider completing the action online.  For example, you may request direct deposit of your check by completing U.S. Treasury form SF-1199A and mailing it to your local office, or you can complete this application online.  For a list of services that can be completed online, see What You Can Do Online.
