It can be challenging if other documents are also lost or if she doesn’t have a drivers license or state Id.   I had a bad situation where I lost my wallet with drivers license.  At that Lonny I realized that my birth certificate had been lost on our last move and I had let my passport expire because with young kids we weren’t traveling much.  You need something to prove who you are to get a replacement.

I ended up having my mom request a replacement for my birth certificate and then I used that to get a new license but it was a really long process.  Before it occurred to me that my mom was entitled to a copy of the birth certificate, the only option was for me to go to New York with witnesses to appear in court and arrest to my identity.  So lesson being don’t ever let yourself get down to one form of ID or keep them all in the same place.  [/quote]

I had never thought about this and I'm sorry this happened to you. Thanks for sharing your story. It'll probably help one of us one of these days!
