How do people get past the page asking for your state ID and not have their Document number be valid?

You are not required to enter a state ID or drivers license to e-file your federal return. Entering the ID adds some security but is not required so you can skip that screen. Some states are pretty picky about the state ID; if your state will not take your ID you may need to file the state by mail.
