The solution is simple...
Just get a passport so you can travel within the borders of the USA.
Always be sure to have your papers in order and ready so you can hand them over when the friendly officer requests them.
Look at the documentation requirements to get a passport.
There may be cases where people born here, of us citizens, get into a catch 22.
Need one doc to get the second one, but need the second one to get the one doc.

My wife has to do exactly that. She was adopted so her birth cerificate (which omits her real parents’ names) is no longer valid for ID anymore. Her old passport was grandfathered in so long as it does not lapse.
So she will need to keep renewing her passport for life even though we have no plans to travel outside the country.
