Well, sorry, but you need to present original documents or at least copies certified by the agency that issued them. We do not accept photocopies.
I see what you mean. Another concern on the benefits. What if I don't have an account yet?
In that case you would have to open an account before you can sign up for Direct Deposit. You should shop around in your area to find an account that has the features you want at a price you can afford.
And what if I didn't already receive social security and wanted to apply?
