you cannot get the real id until you get your greencard

yes you can go to SS office, bring your old SA Card, EAD, I-797, proof of name change (in my case I bring my marriage certificate because it stated I want to use new name after married). They will mailed your new SS Card and the process is quick! but after you got your greencard you need to do the same process for delete the “valid for work only with DHS authorization” sentence and took 2 weeks to process cause they need to verify your greencard

Thank you everyone for your response, I really appreciate it! Also Lulla Ycr if you don’t mind me asking did you get a state id or license from dmv after you get the new ssn (the one you updated after you got your ead) or did you wait for your green card? thanks friend

@Lulla Ycr there is a series of documents that you can use to verify legal residence while you wait for the greencard to be approved and using your current EAD card and the additional document outlined on the dmv website

@s l did you previously have a real id or real drivers license? Just use the info on the dmv website with your updated ssn and other document listed to get the new real id/drivers license. if you already had a real id/drivers license take it with you to the dmv

@s l yes I use my ssn with new last name to make state driver license from DMV. I made it after new ssn with current last name coming (same number just different last name) cause EAD is not enough to apply state ID/DL with new last name, I need to change my SSN first even though my last name in EAD is changed already

@Judz W I’m not sure what your case but in my case since I changed my last name after married so the person in DMV told me directly to changed my last name in SSN first before I can use new last name in my state ID/DL.

@Lulla Ycr @Anna B @Judz W thanks guys! I did an appointment with the ssn first to change my name and waited for my card to get in the mail. After I went to the dmv and they issued me a driver’s license. Thank you for your help and response!!

@s l your welcome God blessing we are all next in line

congratulations!!
