Any Los Angeles field office can handle routine requests.

For most U.S. citizens the fastest route is the online request through a personal "my Social Security" account at ssa.gov; offices cannot print a card on the spot. If you must apply in person (for example after a legal name change or for a non-citizen record update), bring original or certified proof of identity and citizenship or immigration status.
