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.

The amount of love your parents have for you must be so great! Did they seriously not keep your birth certificate?

You can use like 8 different things instead of a birth certificate as secondary ID to get a license, so that solves your problem on all fronts, but... COOL STORY BRO

Voted up whilst using "u" in place of "you"? -slow claps- I salute you sir. Bonus points for using three words or less.

Is there any particular reason behind you not having a passport ?

For all you know, everything they owned could have been burned in a fire.

Most *Americans* don't have a passport, footballguy2.

There's no need for a passport unless you're traveling outside the USA. Most people I know don't have one.

Well, travelling outside your home country/countries. Lets not be geocentric here.

@ Rattusrattus. A passport isn't when needed traveling from one country to another within the European Union. The borders are merely marked with a sign - it's similar to crossing from one state to another in the US.

Haha 86- that was great. Just woke my boyfriend up laughing at your response! :-)

How about a social security card? That should be good

Maybe it's a sign that you should go green and ride a bike as transportation :)

We all know that's what you guys do in china

Maybe OP has an electric car. You don't know.

You can ask one of your parents to get it. I've done it before, trust me. You'll be okay :3

I don't know what part of the US you're from, but usually other forms of ID are sufficient to get your license. Social Security Card, credit cards, school IDs, etc. It can't be impossible. Good luck!
