After 911, most states adopted rules restricting releasing a BC to only those with a direct interest/link. We did not want terrorists being able to get/create, phony IDs.
The movie
The Day of the Jackal showed how easy it was to create a fake ID...a guy goes into a cemetery, finds a grave of an infant who was born about the same time he was, then gets the birth certificate for that person.
I wonder if they have strict rules for how close the relationship has to be. Maybe a sixth cousin once removed on the Dunham side is a McCain supporter...
