Laminated Social Security Card

[Southpaw3]

My dad and I just went to get my SS card laminated (his is laminated so he thought why not), but we have now learned it is not advisable to laminate the card (thanks for that heads up mom). Do you think this will cause any issues at I-Day?

I doubt it

It is not likely to cause any issue at USAFA, but the Social Security Administration clearly states not to do it as the lamination may impair some of the card's security features.

Thanks for the replies.

TIL that my social security card actually has security features.

You'll quickly memorize your SSN and won't even need the card



Edit: I'm afraid some will take my post too literally. Just to be clear, still bring the card.
