Eh life happens.

 

At the time I went through this in these cases, vitalchek was not an option. The only option was to go into the vital records office of the county you reside in and beg for mercy?  Of course when it comes to births not registered, and I suspect this is the case with my dad, it's a whole other ball of wax. But I might give it a shot with vitalchek for him, just in case. The DVR is one state agency I loathe just as much as the DMV. It all sounds so simple in the instructions, and then you get there... where they have no provisions for people who just don't have the things they think 'normal' people should have. It's not the norm for a lot of people I'm sure, but statistically it is the norm for a bunch of groups of people and in that way it does affect those people who once had the ability to vote just fine, or want to vote in the future.. it's a problem. I don't want it to be a problem for anyone. Pre-80s here, a lot of people did not receive a BC, but another document that looks similar (there was no ordered structure either.. they all look different). These were accepted by the state for years with no problems, and I have no idea why they still can't be, it would be a lot more helpful to some older folks. My own original BC, looked very different than the certified copies we receive today. It was a tiny thing and I think if I even had it and tried to use it, they'd reject it too.

Let me know how it goes for your dad.  Might not be possible, him not having a BC originally.  But you don’t have to process the order til the very end, so you can at least go thru all the steps to see if any errors get flagged, at least.  And I am with you... the DMV sux, as does the DVR and the VA.  I try to avoid at all costs!

How did they get ObamaCare to pass?

 

I didn't follow politics during the dark era of the Obama Presidency

Read up on it and see how the Republicans voted.

We have spoken before?  Sorry, due to my early-onset Alzheimer’s, I may have forgotten.  This is how I make new friends daily!  😜

 

No, I don’t remember.  So much more to life than this forum that I have to memorize, so forgive my tired old brain.

 

What you detailed cannot be the norm, anywhere.  I still have my original BC, torn, on some sort of foil paper.  It has seen better days, torn a bit, but still legible.  However, just to see if I experienced the pain you did in obtaining a copy, I went to vitalchek.com and ordered a replacement.  Took me about 4 minutes of several pages of entries, $28 to the state, $9 to vitalchek, free shipping via regular mail (expedited was available for about $19), and voila, I had a birth certificate replacement on the way.  While I feel for your situation, where people don’t have a birth certificate, this cannot be the norm in the US.  All I had to provide in the way of ID was the full names of myself and my parents.  Nothing more.  No DL, no other form of ID.

Early onset what?  There is the fertilizer North Korea needs

You know we had both houses and the white house for 2 years. Maybe we need to drain the Republican swamp

I believe the last Federal Election did drain some of the never Trumper

 

Yes, if there is anyone whom is not loyal to Trump in the GOP, they need to be gone ASAP

Mittens has been a cancer in the GOP. I think Johnny Isakson GA is putting a rope around his neck

Yeah -- the 41 Republican incumbents who didn't run for re-election and thereby created open races that the Democrats could win.
