The person told me it would take five days if he did it, but I could call another number for an automated system or do it online. 2. I called the other number. After asking for my SSN and address number, it told me it could n't process my request. I would guess this is because they have an old address even though I 've been at my current address for more than four years. 3. I tried online. The page they told me to go to did n't come up ( probably because I was n't using https ), but I was able to navigate from the home page.

4. I tried the automated phone line again using my previous address. It did not work. 5. I tried online again. Same result. 6. I called the original number and went through the process.
