USCIS announces that new citizens will be able to seamlessly request social security updates.

Beginning April 1, 2024 noncitizens applying for naturalization, using the new edition of Form N-400 will have the option to complete additional questions on the form to request an original or replacement Social Security number card and authorize USCIS to update their immigration status in the US as a US citizen with the Social Security Administration.

Applicants who do not request a Social Security card or authorize disclosure on the form will still be required to visit a Social Security office to request a new Social Security card and update their status as a US citizen.
