[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]e someone with a home birth and no social security number who is having trouble proving her identity - esp if parents didn’t believe in vaccination or public school. They turn 18 and are basically screwed, they need a lawyers help to sort it out![/quote]

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 have no idea. I know this particular case because I read about someone on a reddit discussion group caught in a bind.

She was 19, her dad had tried to raise her "off the grid" for the first fiver years of her life and never applied for a SS. number for her. She fortunately had a birth certificate (state of Colorado I think). But it was a home birth so no hospital records to be able to use as secondary documentation.

And he never took her to the doctor or got her vaccinated - in Texas. She DID attend texas public schools, K-12, so she had those records as secondary documentation.

But now she's in a bind. To get a Texas state ID she needs her birth certificate PLUS 2 of the following:

Again - she has no SS card.  As a young adult who never had a job yet, she has none of the other things.
She DOES have school records so that counts as one of the two.
But she really hasn't been able to get anything else -- without a SS card and a photo id!
Immunization records would be her best bet but since her dad was trying to keep her away from Big Pharma etc... she doesn't have those...
