Name Wrong on ssn Card

Ooof, that's awful.

I'd be concerned, but I think that's because I live in NJ, and the DMV/MVC here is a pit of despair. Let's put it this way: I warned DH multiple times that getting his ID in NJ was going to be a pain of epic proportions, he should do it sooner rather than later, he should have MULTIPLE forms of their "point system", and he should absolutely NOT wait until his old ID was expired.

He did ALL of those things, and then someone at the NJ DMV decided that his name was really not his name, because of a little hyphen on his birth certificate.

It was a Thing.

So.

Depends on your state?

I would really reach out to someone at the SSN office, AND your local DMV.

Oh it's definitely a thing, that is for sure!
My first middle (I have 2 middle names) name is spelled incorrectly on my social security card, it is supposed to be spelled Stephenie but instead is spelled Stephanie. So everything involving my name has to be spelled the way it is on my social security card, even though on my birth certificate it is spelled the way it is supposed to be. It has been a battle my whole life, so I would definitely get it corrected.

I haven't had any issues with it, just moreso annoying due to the fact of my birth certificate saying one spelling and my social security card saying another and always being told that they will have to go by the incorrect spelled one.

Oh man that stinks! Hopefully because it's clearly their error you'll get your corrected card back faster this time!! 🤞
