What do I do if I lost my driver's license and Social Security card?
I only have a birth certificate. What do I need to have to get replacements?

The social security card is the easiest to replace though I would advise you to call Social Security and advise them you lost your card. They may want to issue you a new number if so you would then have to go to your local social security office and complete some paperwork and bring an original copy of your Birth Certificate. One that has the raised seal on it
You can contact Social security by calling 1-800-772-1213, you can use the automated telephone services to get recorded information and conduct some business 24 hours a day. If you cannot handle your business through the automated services, you can speak to a Social Security representative between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Generally, you’ll have a shorter wait time if you call during the week after Tuesday. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, call our toll-free TTY number, 1-800-325-0778, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
For your drivers license I suggest you call your local DMV office and ask what you need to do. When my wife's purse was stolen we needed to bring several different forms of identification including Utility bills and then they still used their computer to find the Drivers photo they had of her. Why we need all the other stuff when they used her ID photo anyway is beyond me bit that is what they asked for so that is what we did.
My best advice to you is to call each place first and then do as they instruct.

You're already in the their computer systems, both with Driver licensing and with Social security, whether you have cards or not. So have something to prove who you are. A birth certificate would help. But your particular offices may not need that or want other papers. So I would call each one first and let them know it was lost or stolen if that's the case. For driver license, you'll have to pay for the replacement card but shouldn't have to with Soc. security. So just ask how much the replacement will cost. It isn't dumb to call and ask these questions. They get these kinds of questions all the time, so just call and ask them.
