I've been trying to book an appointment with you but it's not going through. How will I reach you?
You should have the options to make an appointment online because I've been on hold for hours.
Told today that "it can not be done." To get a replacement ssc , need to mail in original documents ( driv lic/ work ID) things that I need on my person. Driving without lic. because It was mailed to ss office and waiting for months for it to return not acceptable by cops/law. No appointments and WV is one of the backwards states that can not do this online..and they wonder why people leave the state.
