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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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
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 went to the bank to get a temporary debit card, since I lost my wallet a week ago. On my drive across the street from the bank to the DMV, a car slammed into mine at the intersection, nearly totaling my car. The movie theater I went to last week just called and said they'd found my wallet. FML
Today, I received my replacement debit card in the mail after losing my previous one. I've already lost my new one. 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 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 canceled my ATM card, because it had been lost. Then I found it. Then I found out I can't reactivate it, because I asked for a replacement card. I'm from CA, and I'm in Mexico with only 20 bucks. FML
Today, my Visa card randomly stopped working. I have no other way of getting money or paying for anything. I was going to buy next week's food tomorrow, but I guess I'll just starve instead. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML
Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Get your hands on an army uniform (captain or similar rank). Take command over a small squad, lock down the local council hall and arrest the mayor. Seize the cities' cash savings (don't forget to issue a receipt!). Make sure your soldiers keep guarding the mayor while you take off with the cash. Edit: Proceed with #6

Borrow some cash and get your new ID. Problem solved.

Pro Tip: Leave an expired Photo ID (for the gym or library or shooting range or whatever) in your safe at home. Even though it's expired it's useful in this sort of situation. Also useful: pictures of your DL and car insurance card stored in your phone.

I have an old ID from 1999 that I still keep.

You should be able to get a replacement license (including a temporary one you can print out) online, as long as you can answer the security questions accurately.

OMG I am going through similar situation. ....i am at the DMV to process a replacement ID. My bank refuse to replace my ID without a state issued ID. I was told a receipt from DMV that by ID is being processed was good enough. my state issued professional ID was not accepted by my bank

The PA dmv only accepts cash and checks and maybe money orders, I'm sure California will accept any of those, too. hopefully you don't keep your social security card in your wallet, and if you have your birth certificate you should be able to get a new ID in a few minutes.

You should be able to pay in cash at the DMV. I lost my ID and debit card in the same week once and I was able to pay with cash when I needed the new ID. Unless your state/country is weird and doesn't allow paper currency.

go to the bank and take out CASH and use that at the rmv?

Trouble is that he can't withdraw any cash since he doesn't have either his card or ID to prove who he is.
