Google is full of these stories:

• DMV won’t renew license that veteran has had for 40 years
  
• Marine vet, born on a military base, denied license after he can’t prove citizenship

Ain't it great! Yet another reason for a State of Jefferson. Oregon can have Portland/Salem.

All kidding aside the last time my wife and I renewed our DLs here in utah we ran into the same thing even though we had our old licenses. They said it was a new law. A minugraphed copy from the hospital wasnt good enough, we both had to write to the countys we were born in and get copys from the county!
Strange, all my working years I carried secret clearances and what I had was good enough for the DOD!
Yet I am remembering a incident where a drunk vietnamese woman ran a security gate and did some damage. She couldnt speak a word of english yet had a DL, and I was surprised to find out she was automaticly issued it when she was brought to this country without a test!
When the subject of potus haveing a questionable BC was brought up, we who wrote about it were viewed as needing tin foil hats etc. Now that a big gun like donald trump questions the very same thing, no one calls him looney, why?

They're starting to require a BC in more and more places. I had to have one last time I renewed, but I can't remember if it was for everyone in the state of Oklahoma, or if it was because I have a CDL or if it was for the HazMat endorsement. I do know that several people were turned away while I was waiting because they needed a BC for replacement of a lost license or for a new state ID card.

This is nothing new in many venues. For example, an original birth certificate (or resident alien aka green card) has always been required to obtain a drivers license in New Jersey. Seems like some other states are just catching up.

Before the driver testing centers in NJ were taken over by DMV personnel, I arrested hundreds of illegal aliens a year who were there trying to obtain a Jersey drivers license.

You will need a certified birth certificate to get a passport.

Usually, a BC is not required to get a Social Security card, so long as you can provide other ID, such as a driver's license or state issued ID card. Without those, a copy of a medical record will surfice.

However, if there is a problem, such as your birthday or name don't match, the birth record will not be accepted by the Social Security Administration. Only a state certified birth certificate will do in these cases.

Blame it on 9/11 and identification theft. The rules are getting tighter on ID issues.

It's called "Real ID". You need a copy of your BC (You can get it from the records office in the county you were born) and 2 bills with your name and address plus your original SS card. Good news is once you have a "RealID" compliant DL, you never have to do the dance again. At least that is what a government representative told me. They would never lie. Joe

I have always had a problem with my actual birth certificate.
When I was born, in NY City the original BC's looked like carbon paper only on heavier stock.
The background was blackish/dark blue and the printing was in white. It even has a embossed notary type seal. Every time I need to show it, school, college, DL Work, "on no we can't use this it's a copy".
Trying to explain it and show them it was real document was such a pain.

Yeah, I moved to a different state and couldn't get a DL. Had a current DL from the state I was moving from, a BC but no SS card. So I went over to the SS dept, showed my current DL & BC, got a SS card, went back and got a new DL.

Ain' it grand! 12 million in the country illegal and that's good. Want a bet how many of them have a DL.

I think what you have is THE birth certificate that was given to your parents. Most gov drones are used to seeing the official copies that are sent out if you request one at a later date. These copies are black text on white paper.

I have both types, what you have (exactly as you describe) and an official copy issued years later.

Yep. Did the passport thing last summer for our trip up into Canada on the trike. Turns out the recorded date on my birth certificate and the date I've used for the last 52 years are 1 day different (23 Sept instead of 24Sept). In the mad search for documentation, I actually found the form my mother filled out in December of 1958 to correct the mistake.( She filled it out, but didn't send it in) After about 60 days of providing affadavits and filling out forms, I gave up. My birthday is 23 Sept, it says so on my passport.

A few years ago I got a job that required a security clearance. I happend to be in NE PA at the time so I went down to Trenton on a day off and went to "The Department of Health and Senior Services". That august organization runs the "Office of Vital Statistics". I applied in person for five official, certified copy, raised seal, long form birth certificates. These are printed on "New Jersey safety paper". This birth certificate is the one that has all of the information about my birth including my mother's name and profession and my father's name and profession. I believe that it may also have my grandparents names although all of the remaining copies are in the safe deposit box and I can't check them right now. I am indeed a natural-born citizen of the united states. I also am in possesion of the receipt stub of my original Social Security card and my original Selective Service registration card.

These records can be obtained for a nominal fee from the township/city, county or state where you were born. It's a funny thing about the linked stories; the father of a former associate of mine was born on Bedlow's Island, now known as Liberty Island. It was then a military post, a communications hub for the harbor defences. He had no problem with his birth certificate.

I have had no trouble obtaining my mother's BC, my father's BC, my maternal grandfather's BC (from rurual western Ireland, no less) and evidence of my maternal grandmother's birth. Nana's birth records were kept in a church in PEI, Canada; she was born in 1880. This was unusual because the British Commonwealth was properly recording births and deaths from about the 1820's or 1830's. Thus, hers are not real birth credentials.

Yep, that is exactly what it is. I can still remember my Father who was a very, very exacting man (Engineering) who never lost his temper, getting quite hot under the collar try to convince those idiots it was the real deal.

Oregon has had nothing but trouble with illegals, drivers license, no insurance, hit & running, rapes & murders that something had to be done. Finally had a law passed that requires birth certificates. Mine comes up in June & I'm ready. Good law.

I ran into a similar problem when I got my passport. NYC gives out an "official copy". As long as it has the stamped seal it's as original as NYC gets. I hate this city and its *** backwards ways.

Get a passport and keep it up to date. You need a birth certificate to get one, but once you do it trumps all other forms of ID.
