Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment?
Most SSA field offices, including this one, strongly recommend appointments. Walk-ins are accepted but you may face 1–3 hour waits. See our appointment guide for the fastest way to book one, or check current wait times in Hackensack.
What documents should I bring?
Depends on what you're doing. For a new SSN card: proof of identity, proof of US citizenship or immigration status, and proof of age. For replacements: photo ID. See the full document checklist for Hackensack.
Can I do this online instead?
Many SSA services are available online at ssa.gov: applying for retirement, requesting a replacement SSN card (in most states), checking benefit status, and updating direct deposit. See our guides on applying for retirement online and replacing a lost SSN card.
Is there parking available?
Parking availability varies. Most SSA offices have visitor parking, but in dense urban areas you may need street parking or a nearby paid lot. Allow extra time.
What if I don't speak English?
The SSA provides free interpreter services in over 150 languages. Call ahead at (866) 964-4680 to request an interpreter for your appointment. See our guide to reaching a live agent.
