babygurl108,
I see you are in NY state, so... to get a state issued photo ID in NY you need 6 "points" worth of documentation that prove who you are. You can check out the following link to find out what documents are acceptable and how many "points" each of them are worth, although people usually use just their birth certificate and social security card (those together are worth 6 "points").

In order to get your birth certificate, you'll need to contact the county clerk or Registar/Recorder for the county you were born in. They'll tell you what info you need to get a copy of your BC but it's usually your birth date, your Mother and Father's names, and a nominal fee.
As for your Social Security card; for that, once you have your birth certificate, you'll have to go to your local social security office OR send in an application and again pay a nominal fee
You can find out all about getting a social security card here:

Hope that helps,

I really dont think you would go to jail over that. as far as im concerned, the age of moving out of home dosnt affect your chances of getting an I.d im pretty sure a question like that wouldnt ruin any of your chances. but if theres some ridulouse law were you live that im missing here, feel free to tell me and I might be able to come up with more helpful answers!
Hey what if you ran away tho. If they have your case still open you might go to jail
