If you prefer not to apply online, you can call your local social security office and schedule an enrollment appointment over the phone. Keep in mind they are typically about two months out with appointments so contact them 3 months before your 65th birthday month.
Once you submit your application to social security, you should receive your new Medicare card within 3-4 weeks.
