Can I Go To Any Social Security Office To Change The Name On My SS Card?

I wanted to cmake an appointment to change my name on my SSi card can I go to any office.

Hi. Normally you could, but as far as I know Social Security offices are still closed to the public due to COVID. It may be possible for you to apply for a corrected Social Security card online. The instructions can be found on the following Social Security website: https://faq.ssa.gov/en-US/Topic/article/KA-02017. If you're unable to apply online, you'll need to apply by mail or wait until offices open.

Best, Jerry
