How many people do you think this applies to?

As for the home birth and no social security number, in the past this applied to lots of people.  First step:  find someone to certify you.  My parents were both born at home.  They did have Social Security numbers as they had worked, but when it came time to claim benefits they had to prove their age.  My mom's older sister certified her age--she was only 16 months older.  She (my aunt) was certified by a neighbor who was an adult when she was born.  I'm not sure what my dad did, but he likely had a passport since he had been in the Merchant Marines when young.

My father's aunt used a baptismal certificate.

But, it is doubtful there are that many people who are born at home, homeschooled and unvaccinated.  Except, of course for those illegally crossing our border.

I’d guess they number in the thousands, which is still sizeable. About 50,000 kids are home birthed each year.  There’s probably quite a bit of overlap between the homebirthed/homeschooled/unvaxxed categories.

There are other demographics who would need help obtaining a passport. Over 65, for example, or living in a rural area with no nearby passport office.[/quote]
