These include a U.S. birth certificate, U.S. consular report of birth, U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship. If you are not a U.S. citizen, Social Security will ask to see your current U.S. immigration documents. Acceptable documents include your: * Form I-551 (includes machine-readable immigrant visa with your unexpired foreign passport); * I-94 with your unexpired foreign passport; or * Work permit card from the Department of Homeland Security (I-766 or I-688B). International students must present further documentation. For more information, see International Students And Social Security Numbers (Publication No. 05-10181). Age: You must present your birth certificate if you have it or can easily obtain it. If not, they can consider other documents, such as your passport to prove age. Identity: They can accept only certain documents as proof of identity. An acceptable document must be current (not expired) and show your name, identifying information and preferably a recent photograph. Social Security will ask to see a U.S. driver’s license, state-issued nondriver identification card or U.S. passport as proof of identity. If you do not have the specific documents they ask for, they will ask to see other documents including: * Employee ID card; * School ID card; * Marriage document; * Health insurance card (not a Medicare card); * U.S. military ID card; * Adoption decree; or * Life insurance policy.

Or will this automatically be sent to me now that I've waited the required 2 years after receiving my Soc.Sec. disability? Please advise me soon so that I will be able to purchase supplemental health insurance. Thank you, Jack I need an enrollment form for a Medicare card–I don’t have one.
