How did she get a driver’s license?
This is a recent requirement. When she got it before, the BC was not required. This has been implemented recently, before about 5 or 6 years ago all you had to do is show your existing license. I lived here for 30 years, just bring the existing one and it was a done deal.
When I moved back from Louisiana, I had to get a BC to get my Texas license, hadn’t seen it in 30 years, cost me 30 bucks I think it was and over a month wait.
I think now once you show your BC, they have it on file and you no longer have to bring it.
There was an act passed recently called REAL. It make getting a drivers license a bit of a pain, tut the license also becomes proof of citizenship.
There are plenty of ways to work around it. The state will help her find alternates to the birth certificate, if she can find the right people.

Probably the same way my white Italian mother in law did, with her baptism certificate and church marriage certificate.
They (social security, medicare, DPS etc), no longer accept church docs as proof of age and proof of birth in the US.
New drivers licenses are typically real-id. These require more proof.
