The lamination of Social Security number (SSN) cards would prevent detection of certain security features. To deter potential fraud and misuse involving SSNs, the social security administration currently issue SSN cards that are both counterfeit-resistant and tamper-resistant. (For example, the card contains a marbleized light blue security tint on the front, with the words "Social Security" in white; intaglio printing in some areas on the front of the card; and yellow, pink, and blue planchets--small discs--on both sides. ) The SSA cannot guarantee the validity of a laminated card. You may, however, cover the card with plastic or other material if the material could be removed without damaging the card. Reference Link: www.socialsecurity.gov

I don't understand how the last person can post what they did when at www.socialsecurity.gov .. The answer begins with.. "NO IT IS NOT ILLEGAL, but it’s best not to laminate your card. Laminated cards make it difficult, if not impossible, to detect important security features. The Social Security Act requires the Commissioner of Social Security to issue cards that cannot be counterfeited...etc."
