If you don't have a passport, and time is an issue...you need to drive to whatever the main passport office in your region is (like, in this part of the country, it's Houston...but that's different for each region if I understand it correctly). If you go to that center and apply (you'll need to have taken your passport photo and have a copy of your birth certificate...and then expect to be in the office for an hour or two waiting and filling it forms)...then it can be expedited to you -- I believe you can have it within just a few days.

THEN, once you have your passport (which you ought to have anyway), you can get the NY DL and not be without picture ID for several weeks.
