How do I notify Social Security that I changed my address?

If you get Social Security benefits you can change your address online by visiting http://www.socialsecurity.gov/coa/ and answering a series of questions that have to match our records.

You can also change your address on the Internet if you have established a permanent password. If you would like to get a password, you can apply online by visiting https://s3abaca.ssa.gov/pro/passregi/passserv.shtml or you can call us at 1-800-772-1213.

If you do not want to answer the questions that are asked online or you do not have a permanent password, you cannot submit a change of address online. Instead, you can either speak to a Social Security representative by calling our toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 or you can contact your local Social Security office. You can get addresses and telephone numbers of these offices from the Social Security Office Locator at: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/locator/
