You do not need photo ID to get a copy of your birth certificate. All you have to do is provide your name, date of birth, place of birth, parent's names and (hopefully you have not changed your name) provide a current address where the certificate can be sent. When you were born, no one submitted a photo of you for your birth certificate.
Can't your parents order a copy of it using their photo ID? Their name is on it too.Birth certificate?
If your state offers just a regular ID get one of those, just explain the situation to the DMV and they should work with you, I think that you can have a social security card in the place of a birth certificate to get a ID



Good luck.Birth certificate?
The hospital in which you were born has a copy of your birth certificate. You should call them up and explain the situation. You will probably have to pay something money for it, but it's worth it.



Also, I know in NJ, they will take a valid U.S. passport if the birth certificate isn't available. Ask the DMV if that option is available in PA.
All you need to do is request for a certified copy of your birth certificate from the County Recorder's Office at the place or state where you were born. This can be done by mail or going to the office in person.
Call where you get your licence at and tell them your delema. Maybe you can have a notery confirm that it's you by using other forms of identification...such as SSN, mail, your parents ID and info, etc.
Try www.vitalcheck.com to get your birth certificate. It doesn't look like you need a drivers lisence to get it, just information about your parents, where you were born, etc. If you have it sent regular mail it is only $23.00, or $40.00 for fast shipping. Good luck.
See if you can use your school ID.
My son was robbed at gun point and the theives took his wallet. He had all of his ID in it, including his social security card. We found out the hard way about the catch 22---can't get a driver's license without a social security card, and you can't get a social security card replaced without a photo ID. Luckily I had saved the first temporary driver's license he had ever had and we took it to get the social security card and once he had his social security card, then they let him have his driver's license renewed.
See if you can use another form of id like your social security card or a student id %26amp; explain your problem %26amp; see if they will work w/ you to resolve it.
your parents should be able to get it
