As I said,
I think someone needs to check the wood pile.
Somehow, I suspect the USPS will be using New Mexico drivers license in lieu of a birth certificate. Or maybe they will have the applicant contact, “Jimmy down the hall” who created Comrade Barack’s birth certificate.
Something smell fishy and it ain’t fish.
A state driver’s license is not considered identification for the purposes of getting a U.S. Passport. But, who know, under this regime of making up rules as you go along?
Identification, including a copy, is required to prove U.S. citizenship, such as:
Previously issued, undamaged U.S. passport
Certified birth certificate issued by the city, county, or state (Hospital-issued birth certificates are not acceptable)*
Consular report of birth abroad or birth certificate
Naturalization certificate
Certificate of citizenship
In addition, one current ID is required, such as:
Naturalization certificate
Valid driver’s license
Current government ID (city, state or federal)
Current military ID (military and dependents)
* Certified means no photocopies; must be an original with the government seal which is an additional cost in time and money if you don’t have it already.
