None of those things are a right, I can't vote but if I could I would not currently be able to as I don't have an Id to get one requires a ssn card and a birth certificate, both of which were stolen many years ago along with my Id. The problem is to get a new ssn card I need a birth certificate or an id to get a birth certificate I need an ssn card

@WeighedDown do you remember your ss#

WeighedDown · 36-40, M

@abe182 yeah but that's not enough as without the card it could be someone impersonating me

abe182 · 46-50, M

@WeighedDown wow I had no idea it was a catch 22 like that. Do you have an expired DL?
I better put my SS card somewhere not in my wallet.
Surely you can get a new birth certificate.

@abe182 I have an expired id my disability keeps me from ever driving but they won't take an expired id either, without a ssn or an valid id you're pretty much screwed

@abe182 [i]Never[/i] carry you SS card or any important documents in your wallet. If someone gets ahold of them, they become you.

@WeighedDown you know you can order your birth certificate online.

WeighedDown · 36-40, M

@Scubaguy027 how much does it cost?

Scubaguy027 · 46-50, M

@WeighedDown I don't remember. When I ordered mine I also ordered copies of my three kids and did express shipping. This was maybe three years ago so the price may have changed.

I do know if you Google birth certificate replacement or ordering you will see a few different sites to get them from and they ARE certified copies.

@Scubaguy027 it's really not that important to me I can't vote anyway, have no real purpose for an id at the moment and what little money I get is usually spent on my meds and house hold items like TP.
