Today, I went to go get a new ID because my wallet was stolen, which had my social security card in it as well. I found out that to get your ID you have to have your social security card, and to get your social security card, you need your ID. FML

Today, after 3 months of job hunting, I finally got a job. But now my birth certificate and social security card are somehow lost, and I can't start until I let them see a copy. FML

Today, my wallet got stolen. I don't have a photo ID to get a temporary debit card, and since I don't have a debit card, I can't go to the DMV to get a new license. FML

Today, my wallet got stolen. I had a bunch of cash, my SS card and my license in it. Now I have to replace everything, only to have to renew my license again when I turn 21 in June. FML

DMV blues

By driver - 06/01/2010 14:55 - United States

Today, I went to the DMV to renew my license. When I gave the woman behind the desk my name and social security number she looked confused. She then called over her manager, who did the same thing. Getting nervous, I asked what was wrong. Apparently, according to the state of Illinois, I'm dead. FML

Bunch of bankers

Today, I went to the bank to open an account. It took hours for them to tell me that I needed my driver's license, passport, and residency paper. I returned with the documents. They then said that they couldn't help me. FML

GIVE ME BOOZE, NOW!

Today, I got a change of ID. My old ID had its corner cut off and was given a temporary paper ID. I went to a bar in another town to have some drinks. Turns out I couldn't because they couldn't use my old ID or my temporary one to let me drink, even though I'm 22. I've been there before and I work at my town's liquor store. FML

Today, I finally got my ass into gear and went to the DMV to renew my driver's license. I waited in line for over two hours, only to find out that I had brought my library card instead of my license. FML

I used an old school ID to get my social security card so I could get my ID. A passport could work as well because it's a form of identification if you have one.

Passport plus a birth certificate would work. If no Passport, a birth certificate should work fine

Have you got your SS number memorized? You can get a passport without showing a SS card but probably need to put the number down. Passports are the best. Expensive up front, but are valid for 10 years and are never accused as being fake (useful for a baby face...)

get a birth certificate, go to the SS place, they'll give you a piece of paper that'll function close enough to a SS card to get you an id, get the ss card after that.

If you have a W-2 from last year or ANY form with your social security number, they'll use that so you can get your ID. (I lost my wallet 2 months ago and had to go through this process. Found my wallet 2 weeks later)

Look at what other forms of identification you can use.

If you've had an ID before, you should be able to just walk in and get one. I've lost my entire wallet and had no problem. In most states, you can even get it online.

Credit/debit cards with pictures on it work. School or work IDs. Dispensary cards. Anything with your name and pic on it. There are also steps for things like this if you have your birth certificate.
