Check to see if the Social Security Office will accept Express Mail from USPS. I’m pretty sure they do. You can print the label online, which saves you a little bit of money, and you also get free proof of delivery. (If you get the label at the post office, you have to pay a little extra for proof of delivery.) Online, you can schedule a free pick-up of the envelope for the next day (or later). You can also request emails be sent to you showing the status, so you’ll know when the package is delivered.

I’m always nervous sending a Passport or Birth Certificate in the mail, but I’ve never had any problem with Express Mail.
