Another citizen put through the government bureaucratic wringer. Ashley Smith’s NS story about a woman who hasn’t been able to get a new drivers license is worth reading:
But a birth certificate is not the only document that is accepted, said BMV spokeswoman Dollyne Sherman.
“She has more than one option here,” Sherman said, including a certification of report of birth or U.S. consular report of birth from the State Department, or even a notarized letter from the State Department saying no record could be found.
“We have to make sure that every avenue has been taken to obtain the document by state law.”

“They say I don’t exist.” State Department officials did not return calls seeking comment.
