The certificate isn't the proof. Cross-referencing it with a Country Registrar's computerized records is.

- Declanomous 9y agoYou could be like a familial relation of mine, who didn't have a social security card, driver's license, or birth certificate. He lost them a long time ago. Birth certificate was impossible to replace because the courthouse or whatever burned down before the records were computerized. You can't get a social security card without a driver's license, and vice versa. He literally had tried almost everything. In the end another family member photoshopped a social security card so he could get a driver's license, which he used to get an actual social security card. The whole system is stupid as hell. It's easier to navigate if you lie than if you act truthfully.

A passport or drivers license is much better because the issuer put a picture on it and already did the checking to make sure the birth certificate and social security card were valid.
