Had to update my name on my social security records at the Alachua location. The office was clean, well-lit, and the staff moved through appointments efficiently.
The Alford Social Security office was really crowded. Took forever to replace my social security card. I'd recommend going early if you can.
I dreaded going but the Altamonte Springs office was efficient and the staff was kind.
It took a while to get seen at the Altha office, but once my number was called the process to apply for a social security number was pretty quick.
Needed to apply for a social security number so I went to the Altoona location. The building was easy to find and had good accessibility options. Staff was professional and got me taken care of quickly.
