What Can I Do?
My driver's license was recently stolen. To get it replaced, I needed to have my social security card and birth certificate. My mother still had them at her house, and she mailed them to me. I never received them, and she didn't make them traceable. I have no idea how to proceed from here, as I can't replace my social security card without my driver's license, and I can't replace my driver's license without social security. I have no other form of state ID. What can I do to fix this situation.
Hi. Social Security can accept documents other than a drivers license as proof of identity. For example, a U.S. passport, employee identification card, school identification card, health insurance card, or U.S. military identification card could potentially be used. For more information on how to go about obtaining a replacement Social Security card, refer to the following Social Security website: https://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm.
