Can a social security card be used to rent a PO Box?

A social security card cannot be used to rent a PO Box because it does not provide sufficient identity verification. The USPS requires valid identification for renting a PO Box to ensure that the individual renting the box can be properly identified and is a legitimate customer. Acceptable forms of ID include a driver's license, state-issued ID, or other government-issued identification that contains a photo. Therefore, while a social security card may contain personal information, it lacks the necessary authentication features required by USPS to complete the PO Box rental process.
