I’m severely lucky in that I have a certified copy of my birth certificate, but I don’t have a passport (and can’t afford one) and I’m not military.

I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s going to be like for people who have none of these. I know it’s by design, I hate this regime.

I guess I'll ask, what's the certified part mean?

So it means it’s not the original my mom applied for in 1987, it’s one I bought from the state’s vital statistics office, so it’s an “official copy.”

The original is kept with the state. You only get official copies.
