You will need to go to the local SS office along with your birth certificate and picture ID. It takes anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks to get a replacement card, I had to do that as my wallet was stolen twice, so I lost my original card as well as the backup. Mine came in 3 weeks.My SSS card is missing. How do I apply for a new one and how long does it take to process my application?
If you're talking about your Social Security card, you should find a social security office in your yellow pages and call them to verify exactly what you need to do, or go to http://www.ssa.gov and look for more info. Regardless, I'd recommend getting a new ss# given that you lost your old card. Better safe than sorry when it comes to identity theft.
From the social security administration website:





';You can replace your card for free if it is lost or stolen.





To replace a lost Social Security card:





* Complete an Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5); and


* Show us documents proving your identity.


* Show us documents proving your U.S. citizenship if our records do not already contain that information.


* Show us documents proving your current, lawful, work-authorized status if you are not a U.S. citizen.





In most cases, you can mail or take your application and original documents to your local Social Security office. If you live in the New York City metropolitan area, Las Vegas or Phoenix you may need to apply in person at your local Social Security Card Center.





All documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. We cannot accept photocopies of notarized copies of documents.





For more information about getting a replacement card and the documents you will need to show us, see Documents You Need for a Social Security Card.





You are limited to three replacement cards in a year and 10 during your lifetime. Legal name changes and other exceptions do not count toward these limits. For example, changes in noncitizen status that require card updates may not count toward these limits. Also, you may not be affected by these limits if you can prove you need the card to prevent a significant hardship.





In most cases, the only time you will need to produce your card is when you apply for employment. Therefore, if you anticipate starting new employment, you should request a replacement card in advance.


Keep your Social Security card in a safe place with your other important papers. Do not carry it with you. ';





Usually government documents take between 8-10 weeks to be processed.
