[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve read conflicting information about this: I am a married woman, and have my US passport with my married name, would that be enough proof?

I also saw somebody mention naturalized citizens and needing their home birth certificate. But if you have your naturalized citizen paperwork, your US passport, your real ID would you be affected?[/quote]

No, it would not be enough, unless you brought your marriage license with you to vote, or reverted to your maiden name on all of your documents, matching your birth certificate.[/quote]

Can you point me to where it says you must use your birth certificate to prove citizenship and why wouldn’t the US passport be enough?[/quote]

Read the law...the documentation has to match the birth certificate.[/quote]

I suppose that’s what I am asking. I read the law and I didn’t see that so maybe I am reading the wrong parts.

“b) Documentary Proof of United States Citizenship.--As 
     used in this Act, the term `documentary proof of United 
     States citizenship' means, with respect to an applicant for 
     voter registration, any of the following:
       ``(1) A form of identification issued consistent with the 
     requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the 
     applicant is a citizen of the United States.
       ``(2) A valid United States passport.
       ``(3) The applicant's official United States military 
     identification card, together with a United States military 
     record of service showing that the applicant's place of birth 
     was in the United States.
       ``(4) A valid government-issued photo identification card 
     issued by a Federal, State or Tribal government showing that 
     the applicant's place of birth was in the United States.
       ``(5) A valid government-issued photo identification card 
     issued by a Federal, State or Tribal government other than an 
     identification described in paragraphs …”

There’s more but too much to copy-paste
