There are over 1300 social security offices located across the US, all ready to assist people with social security issues. To find a social security office near you, if you have access to the Internet, you can log onto the government's social security website and enter your zip code onto the correct page in order to receive directions, types of services offered at those locations, hours of the location and telephone numbers for the location. At local social security offices, people can get many of their questions about the program answered. People can also apply for and get social security numbers, cards and card replacements, as long as they bring proper ID that shows they are US citizens and are who they claim to be. In some cities, certain services that can normally be done online or through the mail must be done in person in an office. These cities are Phoenix, Las Vegas, Brooklyn, Queens, and Sacramento.
