It’s just that easy, huh? Here are the problems I would face when trying to get an ID from the government without having any ID.
My state’s DMV wants to see:
* One document (with full name) proving identity and date of birth. [A birth certificate.]
* One document (with full name and full Social Security number) confirming Social Security number
* Two documents (with current physical address) proving state residency
The U.S. State Department requires you to apply in person for a new passport if your old one is destroyed. Processing, issuing, and delivering it currently takes about half a year. Oh yeah, and you will need to bring your birth certificate.
I just requested a certified birth certificate from the register of deeds in my county, and they said it SHOULD be ready by December.
So, I should be able to exist again by … next summer.

Obviously this all depends on where you live but 6 months to get a birth certificate is crazy. I can get mine in less than 5 working days after I submit my request (which can be done on the phone, in person, or by mail). And that's the standard non-priority service.
