As outlined by eSignature laws, documents approved electronically have the same validity as those approved with pen and paper. You can electronically sign almost any business and private documentation. Four types of documents still require wet signatures only - wills and testamentary trusts, court orders and other court forms, state statutes governing divorce, adoption, or other family law, and notice of cancellation of utility services. If you follow the rules and use a secure and compliant software solution, like DocHub, you can eSign your edit ssn card online without printing it.

When you edit your edit social security card with DocHub, you will not need to look for other applications or services to eSign it. An electronic signature is a component of DocHub’s substantial editing toolset, which allows you to implement changes in your form without switching between platforms. Just complete your form, double-check the correctness of the data and put your electronic signature at the end to make it submission-ready quickly.

If you legally change your name because of marriage, divorce, court order or any other reason, you must tell Social Security so you can get a corrected card. You cannot apply for a corrected card online.
You'll need to fill out Form SS-5, the standard application for a Social Security card that you can download from the Social Security website. Mail the form or deliver it in person to your local Social Security office, along with original copies of documents proving your legal name change and your identity.
