Social Security Card

[Daniel M]

At the moment I am unable to find my social security card. I am planning on submitting my BDCP application packet next week in order to get in for the May board. Are there any documents that they will accept in lieu of my social security card?

Why not call your OR? Meanwhile, why not request another one?

Request another one ASAP. When I went to MEPS, my recruiter told me that I could bring my passport and driver's license instead of my social security card which turned out to be wrong. Luckily, my family lives 20 minutes from MEPS so I was allowed to wait for my dad to come and bring it. But they were going to send me home and reschedule without it. So even if you can get by without it on your application (which I doubt), make sure to get ahold of it soon.

I did call my OR and he told me all they needed was a photocopy, they didn't need the original. Thankfully I do have a copy on hand so I can use that. Meanwhile I will request a replacement ASAP, especially if they need it MEPS. Thanks for the replies.
