Hi! I recently got married and will want to go forward with the last name change. I realize COVID-19 has turned everything upside down. Do you have a slight idea of when you may be opening again? Thank you!

I have been waiting on phone for 2 hours patiently to process my SSA application information. Got a representative and she started helping me. She got my information and was looking for answers when THE CALL WAS DISCONNECTED! Why did she not call me back?
Hi. Because of COVID-19, is it possible to get my name change and SS online? Or what can I do other than face to face contact?
1. My wife received a SSN and card as a foreign student at a US university working on-campus part-time. 2.A SSN once issued is according to the IRS and SSA is good forever. 3.Recently married, wife is changing her name by adding husband's last name; so she needs a SS Card with the new name. 4. Have a copy of wedding certificate with raised seal. 5. Wife is a Non-US-Resident but needs still needs a replacement social security with new name change. Besides certified wedding certificate, what other documentation is needed? US Military ID card, foreign passport, foreign driver's license, birth certificate (with or without translation), etc???
