The best thing to do is keep your social security card in a locked safe at your home.

According to Social Security Matters, in 49 states and the District of Columbia, a Social Security card isn’t required to request a Real ID. Pennsylvania is the only state that requires it.

Please be careful about sharing your number when asked for it. You should always ask why your number is needed, how it will be used, and what will happen if you refuse. Also, you shouldn’t carry documents that display your number.

Don't become the victim of identity theft, never carry your social security card in your wallet.
