Travel on May 16

So - I just was beaten and my IDs, along with wallet, were stolen.

I have a trip upcoming on the 16th. My new state ID won't be here for at least two weeks. This leaves a passport as my only other option.

Any suggestion on what my options are? Not sure if I can even get one, even if I get an emergency appointment. I have an original birth certificate, can probably find my SS card. Can get any other proof of ID docs. Anyone else ever been in a similar situation? I think I can get it done with a SS Card and Medical Card.

For a USA passport in the USA, you can go to a Passport Agency in person with photo, etc. and proof of travel (I'm not sure whether it needs to be international, but a PNR and ticket receipt from a fully refundable ticket, including an award ticket, should work). A new passport can even be issued late the same day or (if it's not urgent) the next day if you pay an expediting fee. Check whether your local office requires an appointment, although mine says that they do but then takes some walk in people. There's surely one in San Francisco and perhaps elsewhere in the vicinity of the Bay Area, so you might be able to drive to one with better appointment availability if necessary.
