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.

Tell whoever that must have your birth certificate to mail the copy to you.....

It's not always that simple. If you were raised in an unstable environment and were shifted around between family or moved frequently, you may not know who has your birth certificate and social security card. Or they may have been lost or permanently damaged. I went through something similar to the OP, but was able to sort it out eventually. (unfortunately, it was a complicated process with a lot of catch-22 type situations and I don't remember how we ended up recovering them.)

0.0...that sucks...a lot.

The classic Catch-22!

Sucks to be u huh

Why dont you get the copy of your birth certificate from your parents... Common sense

damn, all that just to get a Drivers Licence!

You do know you can just have your mom or dad get it for you, right? That's what I did.

They did the same thing to me. I ended up using passed year books as a photo ID.
