Definitely cancel your bank card and any other credit cards that were in your wallet, if you havent done so already.

Hopefully someone else will be able to help you with your SSC and birth certificate. I believe when you lose your license or it gets stolen, you report it to the DMV.

Put an alert on your credit report. That will stop anyone who has designs to do so from using your SSN to obtain credit. If any credit has already been given the police report will show that your wallet was stolen.

NauticalStar is right as well.

Contact the social security office and see what you might be able to do.

Why did you have your SSN & birth certificate in your wallet? Not judging just curious.

Read the article I linked to has the number to call the FTC about your SS Card and it has the numbers of the all the credit bureaus. Just call and tell them that you lost your wallet and you need to be an alert on your credit file.
