Darnell Clayton :verified:@lauren Certified birth certificates can be easily obtained (I had to do this years ago as my birth certificate was decades old) via authorized third party companies or from the birth state itself.
Many people do not have passports, but most have drivers licenses & many states offer free state ID with photo for anyone who asks (including homeless people).
Using a photo ID is not horrific. People use them every day to buy things & for travel.
