I've had a wallet lost and another stolen. It was pretty easy to go the the MVD and have them replace my ID card, one of the times including an address update. They were able to identify me based on the photo in said system and was relatively painless. From there, getting a duplicate social security card has also been relatively painless. Even ordering replacement birth certificates, which includes county border changes since my birth. It takes a few weeks, and you do need a physical address to deliver to.

I know there are homeless resources you can use as a physical address to receive mail like this when trying to re-establish your life. My SO and one of my friends both work with orgs in this space. It's not nearly as fast as some might like, but it isn't in the end all that difficult at all.
