"You can apply: Online; or by calling our national toll-free service at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or visiting your local Social Security office. Call ahead to make an appointment."

I don't think there are any other ways. Be prepared to show proof of identity back to the womb. My name changed completely, I mean completely; but luckily my old school records were in my mother's attic.
