I don't think anybody's said this -- maybe it's obvious. But you need your birth certificate to get a new social security card. That and some kind of official picture ID. So the drill is 1) birth certificate, 2) SS card.

One note for general consumption. If you have a valid _or expired_ U.S. passport hanging around, I am told that it can substitute for the birth certificate at the social security office. Maybe double-check this one, but I think it's true.
