Need Advice for lost wallet.

I've recently lost my wallet which included my driver's license and SSN Card (yes I understand this is completely retarded on my part, but I just recently had to use it and it was in my wallet ever since). Now I've contacted FTC/SSA, but the problem is creating alerts for any credit card account creations/getting employed under my name. Fortunately its Sunday so no accounts can be really made, and I understand the first 90 days or so are free for alerting any frauds, but whats some good advice I can go along with this? Also what's the most harm that can be done (per se is there anything more required aside from a SSN to get a credit card like gov't ID?)? How long should I be putting up a credit alert? Sigh, I hate myself sometimes.

Seems like you're doing everything right. Make sure you cancel any credit cards or anything in your wallet, give your bank a call to let them know what's up and you shouldn't have any issues. -halfway through writing this post I noticed you were talking about your Korean SSN. That sucks. Cannot provide any relevant information
