The birth ceertificate is a key document used in establishing identity. The way the author obtained his official copy and the way I obtained mine are not secure; that is just about anyone could obtain the copy and claim to be someone they are not. In my case, I made a phone call, gave my name and DOB and my mother’s maiden name. Gave a credit card number (my wife’s, not mine, and had official documents within a week in the mail.
I see what you mean now, and you’re right.
Yep - no picture. Of course, a birth certificate has the same "problem". Besides, we know from a "prominent politician" that all is bogus in the end.
That’s been my experience as well. Treat the counter clerk like a human being and your experience is generally pretty painless. Choosing what time you go in wisely is the other half of the equation.
Of course the Norwalk DMV is Mexican Brain Root Canal. Norwalk has devolved into a bit of a Third World Hell-Hole.
Try another office.
