Driver’s license’s require money and most places require a personal car to take the test

You can get a state id and not need a drivers license

It can be difficult if your parent never got you socials. Or, if you don’t have proof of residence. Or no birth certificate. Which is often the case in broken homes/ minority. Simplest solution is to remove barriers to get ID . Give people a government ID when they are born for free.

All you need is your social and a birth certificate for a state id i'm pretty sure. Birth certificate or passport. Typically only costing 35 dollars in total.

I have a friend who basically left his abusive parents, he had to spend a month just running around doing random paperwork to get an ID. (Without a drivers license)

Yeah, social (identity) and birth certificate(lawful presence), as well as proof of residence, at least in my state. If you don’t have those on hand. then you’re kinda fucked

a month isn't really that long but i'm sure you can do it faster then that it doesn't take a lot to get the needed documentation

Yeah, if you’re super fucked in terms of paperwork, your best chance is to find a support group who would advocate for you and help you do the paperwork. Anyways….. You probably can get it faster if you know exactly what to do and what to request.

Not a bad idea

Other than some religious aspects, there is absolutely no reason I have ever seen to not get a SSN at birth. Literally just making things harder for your child.

Pretty damn hard to do EAB if you’re a baby and your parents choose not to though. It’s not you who makes that decision

It is free you just need to provide evidence from like birth to today which sucks if you’re not doing it at birth. Anyways like everything is doable. And yeah it’s ass that they’re made out paper and not plastic like IDs.

“Only”: I see people on mutual aid every day begging for food for themselves and children. $35 is a lot of money for a significant part of the population.
