No ID--How will i do my biometrics

FROM A STORE IN MANHATTAN

I can almost guarantee you this 'store' ID will be of little/no value.

Best to contact your local/regional ASC (Application Support Center) and ask them directly.

Have you considered obtaining a new passport from your country of citizenship?

Once you get your EAD - you should be able to apply for the SSN. Perhaps they will accept your other paperwork to supply you one?

The chicken before egg issue, NO ID = no biometrics, no biometrics = NO EAD. NO EAD = NO ID.

It is sad to see a person dealing with the mistakes of their parents.

What state do you live in? Can you apply for a learners permit at the DMV with just your birth certificate in your state? Might be worth a try.

What about obtaining an ITIN if you can't get a SS card? These are government issued..not sure what they look like and if you could use it though...?

No, it doesn't have a picture - just a form with your name and number on it.
