Ok. When I got my drivers license they wanted me to upgrade? Ok so I had to have a bunch of mail with my address on them, my socialist security card, my drivers license, my birth certificate AND a marriage license that was not hand written by the preacher.... since I dwattled around I went to the state office and got one. To get it I needed my drivers license, socialist security card and my birth certificate. Then I got a copy of the hand written marriage license copied on official paper... go figure. Got that drivers license yesterday. So today I went to get a passport. I took every one of the papers I needed. They said my birth certificate wasn’t any good because my parents names weren’t on it. It has been adequate for a very long time... I was hatched. I knew it all along. So I sent for the birth certificate.... they only wanted my socialist security number and drivers license.... $63.... to prove I was born.

That definitely ain't right.

Second. That just ain't right at all! ugh

Karma doesn't like greed.......this isn't gonna be pretty....

Crap

Someday, I might share my near-nightmare experience...

They told my eldest daughter she was not born in the United States and told repeatedly she to go to her place of origin. So much for being born in a military hospital. Second daughter very similar, except she was born in Ohio and they referred her to California over and over again. If you don't fit in their box after using their rules, things will go awry.

The birth certificate confuses me on how that proves who I am...

Yeah I'm trying to figure out how a birth certificate proves ANYTHING.  I have to have one in Texas to get my drivers license renewed, but someone here, what I consider illegally, gets one because they are discriminated against.  I have a DD214 to prove I was in the Air Force but that don't prove I was born.

I asked if divorcement papers would work... nope, they wanted a photocopy of the hand written marriage license I already had that wasn’t good enough photo copied on official government paper. If you have been married 4 or 5 times you have to take in all the marriage licenses. The drivers license place said it’s easier to get a drivers license upgrade if you have a passport...
