He couldnt get an ID without proving who he was, but the stuff that you need to prove who you are requires PROOF OF WHO YOU ARE. Which I understand, with the ID theft that goes on. But he ended up getting his ex-wife in another state to send him a copy of their marriage and divorce papers and tat got him his SS card which finally got him his license.
But it took a LONG time to accomplish all this. And if I didnt keep pushing him he wouldnt have done it. he said "screw it" many times, but I kept after him.
