Usually you need multiple forms of identification, and the birth certificate could count as one, but isn’t required because non-citizens can get a driver’s license if they are here long enough. Someone spending the decade or so going through the slow ass process to get their citizenship needs a driver’s license during that decade.
Do you not need a birth certificate to get a drivers license in the US?
Nor do you in most countries. Generally, a passport is the most authoritative form of identification.
Right but you need a birth certificate to get a US passport dont you?
Yes, because a passport is based on citizenship.
You can use a birth certificate but it’s not required, there’s other methods to prove your identity.
That’s no longer true. That’s what the RealID is about.
While there is an option to have a driver’s license as a Real ID, not all driver’s licenses are Real IDs. Not sure the majority are tbh.
