Does the r62 form still come in the mail

The R-62 form, also known as the "Application for a Social Security Card," is still available for download and printing from the Social Security Administration's (SSA) website. However, the SSA no longer automatically sends the form to individuals in the mail.

In the past, the SSA would mail the R-62 form to individuals who requested a replacement Social Security card or who needed to apply for a new card. However, in 2014, the SSA began transitioning to an online application process, which allows individuals to apply for a Social Security card online and print or download the application.

If you need to apply for a Social Security card, you can:

1. Apply online: You can apply for a Social Security card online through the SSA's website. You will need to create an account and provide required information, including your name, date of birth, and Social Security number.
2. Download and print the R-62 form: You can download and print the R-62 form from the SSA's website. You will need to fill out the form and mail it to the SSA with the required documentation.
3. Visit a local SSA office: You can visit a local SSA office to apply for a Social Security card in person. You will need to bring required documentation, including proof of citizenship, age, and identity.

It's important to note that the SSA may request additional documentation or information to verify your identity or eligibility for a Social Security card.
