You can file at 62, but for full social security it is now 67. I am born in 50 and just filed for mine to start in July. The social security web site is very good and you can file online and finish with a phone interview. It is very easy to do. They base your start date on your birthdate and year

The Social Security website has a chart. http://www.socialsecurity.gov/retire2/retirechart.htm Born 1937 or earlier, then full benefits at 65 years old. Born 1943-54, then full benefits at 66 years old. Born 1960 or later, then full benefits at 67 years old. If you were born between 1938-42, then full benefits start at an age like 65 years and 2 months, or 4 months, or 6 months, etc.... depending on the year you were born. Ditto 1955-59.
