Hi,
I used to live in Kuwait ( middle east ) i never used a social security number or get a card and when i get birth they give me my mother last name because there where not married at that time ,later after my mother and father get married my dad went to health department and change my last name to his last name and this is my current name now ( he didn't go to the court at all ), so i get an amended letter from the health department ( to whom may it concern) with all information ( my old name ,my current name,date of birth , father name ,mother name and birth certificate ref number ) and they (health department) told me i can use this paper for passport and social security office.
So when i went to the SSA office they didn't accept this letter and they are asking to get a amended birth certificate same as the original birth cert with my two names ! And the health department can't do that and they are telling me this is the only paperwork they can give it to me and they keep telling me this paper is for the social security office and they should accept it.
What can i do ? Where can i get the papers so they can change my last name and use my ssn ?
