Answer 8

You need to go to your drivers license bureau.

Take birth certificate & Social Security Card, if you still have them.

SS Number if you don't.

Do this as soon as possible.

If you don't have documents, call them immediately for advice.

Answer 9

you have to go to the DMV with 2 forms of ID and get another one...If you cancelled the cards I wouldn't worry too much about identity theft. Just watch bank accounts and such very closely.

Answer 10

CALL POLICE! Put your credit on BLOCK, cost like 15 dollar? Put all accounts on block/hold/turn off related to credit, credit cards, debt cards, if cell phone was in it, put that on block..overall  block everything till its settle and fixed. It'll take a while before you are able to get everything back to normal. :(
