Today, I went to go get my driver's license, only to be told that I need a copy of my birth certificate. In order to get the copy of my birth certificate, I need a driver's license or my passport. In order to get a passport, I need a copy of my birth certificate or a drivers license. I have none. FML

So pretty much right now you are just destined to fail?

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't a drivers license and a regular id considered to be a state license? To obtain either you'll still need the same info. Atleast in my state it's so.

Will they not allow a school photo ID or work photo ID with your name on it just to get you a copy? It seems like they are just morons messing with you. Good luck!

You can apply for a state issued ID first and also make a request for a copy of your birth certificate and work from there.

Since your in the states one of you parents can request your birth certificate without you.

you need to tell them that.

You are either: A) an alien B) a dumbass C) a really bad liar D) all the above I mean come on.. You've gotta have at least ONE. YDI

Well that's not true. You don't have to have a license/passport to get a new birth certificate. I had to get a new one so I could get my license and I had no issues whatsoever with getting a new one.

This is why you just need a regular state ID. That way u can use that to get ur birth certificate

there is a website you can buy bc's on for like 50 or maybe less. try finding it on Google. no id required just your personal info
