update: my mom found my birth certificate in a box that was moved from our office to the family room. my dad is express shipping it to my company's office when he gets home from work (8am ish)
hey, so I just got hired and started work today. I couldn't find my birth certificate or social security card this morning or tonight. no idea where they would be because I can't remember the last time I would have even used them (maybe to get my drivers' permit?).
also, I don't have a passport - never been out of the country.
do I have any options? the employer needs proof of my eligibility to work in the US along with some form of government ID. I have military IDs, student IDs, a drivers' license, but no kind of paperwork. I just had my dad order a new birth certificate but it will take 10-30 business days to process.
do I have any options? kinda need this ASAP
You never cease to be special.
called it
You have your military ID so if you are active or even reserve call your command and get them to send you a copy of both.
They should both be in your service records.
I know this posting is old, but it popped up when I was doing a search for the same topic. I also found information that might be helpful for others that are having this issue(my info comes from the social security website itself). The website says that "Employers, however, do not have the legal authority under the Social Security Act to require an employee to show his or her Social Security card" it also has a link where the employer can easily(for free) verify your eligibility to work in the u.s.
