      Do it without an id or address. You can’t get an id without an address and you can’t get the card without your id or birth certificate which you also need an id and address. You can’t get a job without an ss number. So if you don’t at least know your number, then you’re fucked.

      Hardmode: you don’t know where you were born

      Impossibe: you don’t know your legal name.

      :pinches bridge of nose:

      I’m reminded of talking with bright eyed product guys at work.

      It’s not enough to cover the happy path. You have to consider all the edge and corner cases, too. Sometimes people don’t have all the documents they “need” to get a new card. Every hoop you jump through takes a toll, emotionally and in opportunity costs.
