Any advice on how to get identification for someone who lost his wallet? ALL ID is gone.

If they had any credit cards report that right away to the companies and freeze the accounts
Report to Social Security as well.
3 reporting companies For the credit cards should also be notified and freeze there as well so no new applications will be processed.
Does this person have a Drivers license or a State ID? Either way report that as stolen and get a new ID or DL. There will be proof that this person will have to provide to get a DL or ID. Usually a Birth Certificate, Passport or other issued document. And a few bills with the persons address and name. The DMV website should have a list of documents that are needed and they probably have a section where you can report a lost or stolen DL or ID.
I would also file a police report just so that you have proof that the items were stolen. ( if they were lost no report would be needed).

In California at least, you need two proofs of residency (usually utility bills or mortgage/rent statements), SS#, and proof of identity. If he's lost everything, he'll need a copy of his birth certificate.
