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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

I wonder how you figured out that pattern?

My credit union has my ID on file, so they can check it without me having to produce it. And if someone comes in with a fake one...too bad for them if it doesn't match the one on file!

Need your debit card? Get a photo ID. Need that? Use your Social Security card. Don't have one? Process application with your name and date of birth. Need two IDs? Add a birth certificate. Don't have that? They'll issue one with a SSN card. While you're at it, apply for your passport. That tends to be a bitch to apply for... But it looks like you'll be doing the footwork anyway, and a passport usually covers Id requirements (will even count when two ids are requested) Also keep in mind that sometimes a delivered piece of mail in your name can count as verification in some cases. Good Lucks.

You need a photo id? Call your bank and ask them for help and explain what happened. They'll help you

You could always request a new debit card over the phone or go to the bank's website and order a new one. At least TCNB you can

Go to the bank and bring your birth certificate and you can get cash. Maybe an unofficial photo ID. Like an old school ID or something.

Different states have different requirements. When I moved from NJ to VA, I was surprised to find that I was expected to bring "6 points" of alternate identification, including my high school diploma and an old work badge, in addition to my NJ license, in order to switch to a VA license.

Go TO the bank in person. I know that somehow this has become a society of no one ever speaking to each other in person, but you can go to the bank and talk to them.

Birth certificate, social security card or school id....? Things to get you a new license. Unless you carry those things around & got them stolen as well. Which in that case, fyl.
