A: I'm really sorry to hear that you're experiencing this. In California, you may begin by reaching out to local social services or nonprofit organizations that assist with obtaining identification and essential documents. They might be able to help you gather necessary documentation and guide you in obtaining a new identification and social security card. It is generally advised to seek the assistance of a legal aid organization or a legal professional to navigate the intricate process efficiently.
