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, 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 misplaced my wallet. Fortunately, I knew exactly where it was. Unfortunately, I had just taken out the only form of picture ID that morning. I couldn't stop the finders from laughing as they saw my fake celebrity entertainment ID while I tried to convince them it was actually my wallet. FML
Today, I went to go get my driver's license, only to be told that I need a copy of my birth certificate. In order to get the copy of my birth certificate, I need a driver's license or my passport.

Today, I had gone to the store and bought a new wallet. 5 minutes later a security guard asks for my receipt. Turns out I had dropped my receipt. Some guy had picked it up and pretended I had stole his wallet. The guard confiscated my wallet because the guy had "his" receipt to prove it. FML
Today, I found a wallet containing an ID card. I managed to track down the owner, who now is threatening to call the police if I don't return the 400 dollars that he insists were also in it. FML

Passport, birth certificate, ect ect. And why were you carrying your social security card around with you? You're begging to have your identity stolen.

i guess there's got to be some way to recover it, but i do know that they require photo ID to get your new SSC, and you need the SSC to get the state ID. definitely true. not everyone has a passport, because not everyone travels out of the country. birth certificate alone isn't enough because there's no photo. you'll probably be able to get it back but it will probably require a fair amount of time and paperwork trying to prove who you are. i guess you've heard it already, but this is exactly why you don't carry your SSC with you. that, and like someone said, you're pretty much asking to have your identity stolen, which i would be EXTREMELY concerned about if i were you, being as whoever stole your wallet literally has ALL your information. your life may be ****** well more than you even realize yet at this point.

i can only assume all the negative votes are about how everyone knows you don't keep your damn SS card in your wallet, but they neg it to not look dumb? the fact that "your life is f*cked" is getting more votes than "you deserved that one" though makes me wonder...

Ok -- go and get a copy of your birth certificate, which you can use to get a provisional copy of your SSN from the SSA, and then you can take both of those to the BMV to get a copy of your ID. Or... If you've ever been indicted for a felony, which is a non-traffic related court document that has both your social security number and your DOB, the BMV has to take it (it's on their list of approved documents).
