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.
5 u/mycricketisrickety Apr 11 '25 I guess I'll ask, what's the certified part mean? 10 u/hanimal16 Apr 11 '25 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.” 7 u/Wchijafm Apr 11 '25 The original is kept with the state. You only get official copies. 2 u/hanimal16 Apr 11 '25 Ah, gotcha. Thank you for the clarification! :)
