I never had a Birth Certificate until I was 62. Does that mean I wasn't officially born until then?
Ouch, that would be a painful birth! Well, in your case, if you were born in Canada to an American mom, and you never got your consular birth abroad docs until 62, you probably skipped along never having to prove your citizenship. Maybe you ran your own business, never traveled abroad, and I don’t know what you did for a SS number.
