you definitely need both to get back in ( a passport if you are a US citizen, green card & passport(from your country of origin) if you are not)\nI guess it should be fine for you to exit the country with just you passport since there are not really any checks when exiting (except maybe some random ones) but it would be a lot safer to have both...

You can get a state issued ID card.  It looks similar to a Driver's License but is just a regulat ID card.  It is legal form of ID.  YOu can go to your local DMV.  Good Luck

it is really crucial to have a SSN if you plan on getting a credit card in the US. better try international credit cards. you'll have a better chance of getting one if you are financially stable.

A passport!  My husband (American) and I (legal resident in the U.S.) drove to Canada.  I had to show my Green Card and my husband showed his driver's licence and the officer said "no, I need to see your passport".  Luckily, he had brought it.

Contact the Department of Licensing (same place you'd get a driver's license). I'm pretty sure you'll need your birth certificate and social security card, and probably $20 or so. Call ahead to double check me, though.

There is a form that both you and your employer have to fill out (an I-9)  That lists what forms of ID are acceptable.  If you have a passport, you DO NOT have to show a Social Security card.

Depends on what you are going for... if you are going to visit, just a driver's license and birth certificate.  Passport would be even better.  Your passport allows you to stay up to 6 months.  If you are going to work or school, whole different ball of wax.

you have to have a government job to get a government ID

The only way to do that would be to prove that you are here legally ...green card etc...other than that if you dont have a ssn or a birth certificate they will not allow you to process a license request ...\n\nSorry

I think you have to have an Employment Authorization Card from the U.S. Immigration & Naturalization Service before you can apply for a Social Security Card.  You should check with INS first.  I'm sure that the Social Security Administration will need to see proof of your immigration status before they will consider establishing a Social Security account for you.

I want all of our borders and ports not only protected, but firmly secured!  No one is allowed to enter or exit without being identified. As a law abiding citizen, I would not be opposed to show my ID anytime anyone of authority wanted to check. Unlike so many of the whining bleeding hearts who would file law suits because an official asked to see their ID. Freedom has never come without a cost. I don't think it is asking too much for every legal American citizen to be prepared to show proper documentation as to who they are to authorities. \n\nSo what that because of your heritage you may look Hispanic or Italian or German..and authorities ask for your paperwork!  Be proud of your heritage BUT be more proud that you have legal paperwork to prove who you are.  Unfortunately, too many of today's citizens would take the "offended" route and try to use the "race card". \n\nWe had all better start looking for ways to get along as ONE NATION UNDER GOD without "being offended" or our ship just may sink.  You had better think about this!

You can't get a license, but the driver's license office will give you a state I.D. for a fee.  You have to bring some forms of I.D.--check their website for the requirements for your state (office of motor vehicles).  It might be birth certificate, social security card, etc.

You should have a foreign passport from the country you were born especially when you are getting off the ship in foreign ports of call. The Resident card is to return to the US.

Well, I would think banks want your drivers license as a form of ID, but Im pretty sure if you asked a bank, you could use your passport as a form of ID

If you are a permanent resident of the United States you need to bring your green card or other proof of your right to enter the United States.  You also need to bring your current, valid passport, along with a Canadian visa if you need one.  You can find out if you need a visa by either contacting the consulate or embassy of your home country or Canada.  The fact that you are entitled to reside in the United States does not mean that you will be allowed to enter Canada.
