<p>I start school at the University at Buffalo on Tuesday. Im a Transfer student. They give you a Student ID card, but to get this student id card, you need to show legal state proof which is only a Drivers licence, learners permit or a Photo Non-driving state id. I dont have any. I dont drive and have never had a need for a standard ID. My prior school didnt ask for this and niether did my HS. I got both id's from them with no problem. I was never even asked. I cant get a passport either because their is no time.</p>

<p>I thought i might wnat to go to the DMV and get the Photo ID , but i dont have a Social Security card. My mother has no idea where it is, thogh tonight after 6 hrs of searching throgh boxes we found a birth certificate.</p>

<p>I mean what do I do, will my school make an exception, il be sure to call them first thing in the morning but any input would help. I have 4 Photo ids from schools and work, will these be ok.</p>

<p>if you are 18 or older, you really should carry with you legal identification. Your school might make an exception, but you should get a state ID if you don't drive.</p>

<p>yeah i know that now. I never had a need for it before. Its to late to get one now as i donte even have a social card.</p>

<p>well you can apply to get another card, you have to go to your local social security office, but then you have to wait like 2 weeks for the card. The DMV website lists a combination of things you can provide to prove your identity for an ID, I'm sure you can scrounge up some things.</p>
