I've lost my wallet. I just got my driver's license renewed-- meaning I have the papers from the DMV as my temporary license. I think my social security number was on that paper. What do?

make sure that your facebook information matches your ID, and have a clear picture of yourself on the account. if you dont have facebook, make one for this. everyone who tries to return a wallet checks facebook.
if oyu can retrace your steps, try and find where you left it of course.
as far as that goes, try to get a new ID. not much you can do about the social other than constantly check your credit report and see whats out there.

Go to the DMV, state "My license was stolen", bring standard proof of identity/residence (found in your DL handbook). They'll issue you a new one.
Report everything missing.
- your credit and debit cards
- phone DMV
Eh, I'm in Canada, a while ago, I was among the students affected when some student loan employee lost a flashdrive with our information on it - there is a service where credit companies etc can be alerted of people whose information has been stolen (like, make more checks when someone is trying to open up a card under your name.)
Okay, a lot of government agencies use things like date of birth and address to confirm identity over the phone, you might want to talk to your student loan office or school or whatever that you need alternate means of verifying identity (secret questions). Ditto for banking.

Also, your SS# is not issued on a paper license. Not in any sane state, at least.

Call and cancel everything.
Go to DMV get new license ordered.
make sure to cancel any credit cards
Identity theft isn't as likely and scary as media makes it out to be. They just want to scare you so you buy their bullshit programs. Truth is nobody gonna take you to court over someone using your social illegally..
