Driver's license in US vs passport in France - not same.
Also are you completely not self aware?
"went over to my county records office" and "hope that your church/city-hall, can provide you a copy" - are literally the same thing. You just happen to live nearby the place where your birth certificate was recorded.
Let alone - low density areas, that are much more republican, also have easier access to government services.
- rayiner 5y agoOP said “to get an ID in France” not “get a passport.” OP was wrong about US birth certificates. They’re not recorded by “churches” they’re recorded by each state. My county office issues certified copies of Maryland birth certificates. (Yes you need to be born in the state, but most Americans live in the state they were born in, just like most Europeans live in the EU member country they were born in.)

- francoispon 5y agoThese days at least around Paris (and I mean le grand paris not just inside paris) it takes over 5 month to get a appointment for a Passport or a National ID. They say it's because of the pandemic but i much rather be in the US to renew my passport if i had to.
