Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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
Today, I had to get out my birth certificate to prove to my dad that today is my birthday. This has happened before. 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, 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 failed to get my driver's licence. My father was the instructor. FML
Today, I was told I can't renew my Identity Card without a Social Security Card, and I can't get a replacement Social Security Card without an Identity Card. 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
Today, I realized that I'm on the top of not having my drivers license/ state ID (I was submitting my taxes and needed it) I also threw away my brand new passport because I thought it was trash in my boyfriends car. FML
Today, I finally went to the DMV to replace my lost license. After waiting for almost two hours, I casually rummaged through my purse. Something strange inside the lining caught my eye. It was my license. FML
Today, I didn't get my driver's license, even though I didn't make any mistakes because my examiner said it was only my first time taking the exam, so it wouldn't matter if I failed. Now I have to pay another €240 for a second exam. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So pretty much right now you are just destined to fail?

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't a drivers license and a regular id considered to be a state license? To obtain either you'll still need the same info. Atleast in my state it's so.

The amount of love your parents have for you must be so great! Did they seriously not keep your birth certificate?

You can use like 8 different things instead of a birth certificate as secondary ID to get a license, so that solves your problem on all fronts, but... COOL STORY BRO

Is there any particular reason behind you not having a passport ?

There's no need for a passport unless you're traveling outside the USA. Most people I know don't have one.

Well, travelling outside your home country/countries. Lets not be geocentric here.

@ Rattusrattus. A passport isn't when needed traveling from one country to another within the European Union. The borders are merely marked with a sign - it's similar to crossing from one state to another in the US.

Maybe it's a sign that you should go green and ride a bike as transportation :)

You can ask one of your parents to get it. I've done it before, trust me. You'll be okay :3

I don't know what part of the US you're from, but usually other forms of ID are sufficient to get your license. Social Security Card, credit cards, school IDs, etc. It can't be impossible. Good luck!
