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

Card problem

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, 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, 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 bought a replacement ID after weeks looking for my old one and not finding it. When I got home, my brother said he'd found my ID. 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

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. In order to get a passport, I need a copy of my birth certificate or a drivers license. I have none. FML

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

only an idiot would keep their social security card in their wallet. you don't need it most of the time, so why have it with you when you can get it lost more easily that way. dumb..

You can get either of those with your birth certificate, which does not require any form of ID to get. You just need to know where you were born!

Thats why they tell you to keep your social security card in a safe place in your home. NEVER in your wallet.

Hopefully you know how to read. That way when you get your new social security card you can read the information card they put in there that says you should NEVER keep it in your wallet. :) YDI

Well, yeah, but what if you're starting a new job or something? You have to have both your ID and your social security card. Then you forget to take your social security card out or have your purse/wallet stolen before you have a chance to take it out. That's what happened to me. I lost my purse while I was out doing job searching, so my social and my ID were both in there.

Ugh, I know, I had that happen to me. And in Ohio, you can't use your birth certificate to get a social security card, either. And I don't have a passport. I guess the best thing to do is never have your purse/wallet stolen.
