You are not required by the IRS to enter an ID in order to e-file. It just adds some extra security. You can skip entering a drivers license or state ID to e-file a federal return. Some states are pretty picky about entering an ID, so if you are filing a state return and cannot enter the kind of ID required, you will need to print and mail your state return.
To file a US tax return you must have a Social Security number valid for work or an ITIN that was issued to you by the IRS. To request an ITIN you have to complete an IRS Form W-7.
Go to this IRS website for ITIN information - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/individual-taxpayer-identification-number
