Can I create a personal my Social Security account if there is a fraud alert on my credit report?

 · En español

If you have a fraud alert on your credit report, you cannot create a personal my Social Security account. You must ask our Identity Services Provider to remove the alert or contact your local Social Security office to create a free and secure my Social Security account without removing the fraud alert. You must have an appointment to visit your local Social Security office.

Alternatively, you can create an account using ID.me, without having to remove the fraud alert.
