I have lost my diver's license and I don't have a State ID. I can call tomorrow to make an appointment for a new driver's license. Any other ideas?

Ideas about what?  You are not required to enter a driver's license to e-file your federal return.  So you can skip it for your federal return.   Some states have stricter requirements to e-file a state return.   If your state requires a DL or state ID and you do not have one, then your other option is to print, sign and mail your state return.

...another idea...but just for your Driver's License.  

 

Some states let you order/arrange a duplicate by logging on the DMV website for that state, paying online and getting it by mail without going into a physical DMV site....especially during COVID..many  these DMV locations have severe limitations and require appointments weeks in advance.

While I can't speak for the state, on the federal side on that screen asking for your license information, there is a checkbox to indicate you don't have one. Select it, and so long as you know your 5-digit e-filing PIN (it may already have been imported from last year's return) you should be able to e-file at least the federal return.
