I am trying to help my friend establish her legal identity. She currently only has a birth certificate, and needs more documentation to get an ID

Gotcha. Ok so, can she use the birth certificate to get a drivers license and SSN?

How exactly do you believe a background check would help in this instance?

She was once arrested for driving on a suspended license. Im hoping that if I get a copy of that, it will have her mugshot and proof of her name

No you also need a social security card. Read further down. That is why she is having troubles

Why can't she request a replacement Social Security card? If she has had a license before, then she should be in the system. I think you can request them online if you still have your old DL or state ID number.

In my state you need an actual DL card to go to the the SS office to get a replacement SS card. You can't just go their an recite your DL number.

Maybe you can call one of the bigger churches around there and speak to the Pasor or his/her people? I bet they'd be happy to help with the city/county government getting the lady proper guidance.

A church isn’t the right avenue... try a local free legal workshop thing. They usually have programs for homeless people or people who got out of prison to get proper documentation

Usually when you move to a new state you can just turn in your old state ID and get a new one.

Yes because there are free local workshop things on damn near every street corner.

A church is an excellent source of help for most any sort of this type. Of course I am speaking of one of the bigger churches in any city, not one who has 20 members and has services in a barber shop.

Odds are, there is a church in her area that doubles as a women's shelter. They should be able to help her.

If she's working and has a valid SSN she should be able to use a my Social Security account and do most of it online to get a replacement card. If you're already in the system and paying into social security, then they don't exactly need tons of proof to send out a replacement.

It says you need a valid drivers license or state ID

When I did it, I had let my DL lapse for a while since I wasn't driving at the time. It didn't seem to matter, but that was years ago and they may have made changes since. The SS-5 form says they just need one document supporting evidence of identity for a replacement. They would like a state issued ID or US passport, but it says: "If you do not have one of the documents above or cannot get a replacement within 10 work days, we may accept other documents that show your legal name and biographical information, such as a U.S. military identity card, Certificate of Naturalization, employee identity card, certified copy of medical record (clinic, doctor or hospital), health insurance card, Medicaid card, or school identity card/record. For young children, we may accept medical records (clinic, doctor, or hospital) maintained by the medical provider. We may also accept a final adoption decree, or a school identity card, or other school record maintained by the school."
I know the DMV here accepts some of those too, but I'm not in Texas. The requirements for establishing identity for a Texas State ID are pretty broad. She might be able to do it with school or medical records, pay stubs, W2s, or an old (expired less than two years) ID. If not, some of that might get her closer to getting a replacement SS card (which, along with a birth certificate and some mail to establish residency) should meet the requirements for an ID.
It's weird that with all the information about us collected by state and federal agencies, it's still a fucking nightmare to do something as simple as get an ID card in a new state.

Because it's for their benefit, not ours, and they have blocks of ice in their ribcage where their heart should be.
