Can a foreign birth certificate be recognized as a valid certificate in the US?

My friend is not a US citizen but wants to get a non-diver鈥檚 license. She has everything she needs to get one, except for her birth certificate, which is in Korean. Can she get her license if her Korean birth certificate is in English? And if she can, is it valid in the US? Thanks in advance for all the people who took the time to answer it.Can a foreign birth certificate be recognized as a valid certificate in the US?
A foriegn birth certificate is still a birth certificate. If it's not in English, it will need to have a translated version. As long as it's an official or certified copy, and all the other proper documents are available, I don't think there would be a problem.
it must be legally translatedCan a foreign birth certificate be recognized as a valid certificate in the US?
My newly arrived wife was able to get a Texas ID card from the drivers license department using her Philippine birth certificate, her postal ID from the Phils, and her Philippine passport and US entry visa.Can a foreign birth certificate be recognized as a valid certificate in the US?
it should be good, it is her birth record. tell her to call the court house.
Come on Snoopy,! You just answered your own question, foreign means just that!! So NO!!!
it is not a valid for the purpose of getting any thing in united state if she dont have a green card or a valid visa or american citizenship
If she's not a US citizen she shouldn't be here in the first place.. That means NO driver's license either. You can't just expect the USA to take time out to go over your "illegal status" friend's certificate if she's not even legal to begin with. Send her packing.
I know of plenty of people who were not born in the U.S. and there for would not have a U.S. birth certificate and they have valid drivers licenses FYI some of them aren't even here legally go figure.
foreign issued documents will usually be accepted if they are certified and have a translation. Whether it will be enough for a driver's license or state ID will depend on the state. Many require proof of legal residency, as well. Some, for ID cards, still do not.
