In a Catch-22 While Trying To Replace IDs! Need Advice!

[Luce2387]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA (Washington)

Hello. I don't know the appropriate place to put this so I figured this is a good spot.

I am in an extremely tight situation without any other options or know what to do. I am trying to renew and replace several IDs however I am stuck in a never ending catch-22 circle. Here is the story:

I am from New Mexico and my state identification expired last September. I didn't mean to let it expire for so long but at the time I was in the middle of moving from California to Washington and my life was pretty hectic for months which resulted in me also losing my SSC. I didn't get a chance to go find the DMV to renew my license in time. I went to the DMV with as many documents as possible but I need 4 of the B-List documents they list in the pamphlet they gave me. However, only 3 of the documents even apply to me and the rest are non-applicable or I simply cannot get them. I have a certified state birth certificate from NM, my old expired ID and a high school transcript. I don't have absolutely anything else otherwise I would not be stuck in this situation. The possible 4th option for me is also a SSC but I do not have that as I need to get a replacement.

I went to the SSC office to try and get it replaced but they all require documents I can only access if I have a valid ID. The other option is medical records but I cannot get those without a valid ID either (I've tried!)

So the catch 22 is: I need to get my identification from the dmv but I need my social security card to complete the list of required documents to show. I need a valid ID and other documents to get a replacement social security card. I cannot get either of these and they do not have any advice for me and only shrug their shoulders.

I'm out of options and I cannot possibly go or do anything without identification. I don't know how to get out of the situation and no one wants to help me. Any advice is welcome and I am willing to answer further in-depth or clarify if needed.

Edit: I should have stated that I've already looked at their website. Despite what it clearly says, I'm still being denied due to no evidence of a physical card. I have talked to people at the DMV and at the SS Office. They tell me I need these documents and don't know how else to help me. I called someone at the SS Office on the phone last week and she told me medical records but ofc I can't get those without ID.

Any actual HELPFUL advice aside from linking me to the obvious is appreciated.
