So we never got either Felicity’s birth certificate, or her Social Security Insurance card. So we had to order one online and it took 7 weeks to get in the mail. Well, we took our birth certificate down to the Social Security office, to get her card, and guess what, a birth certificate wasn’t enough. So I waited over an hour in line to be told that rather than a notarized birth certificate, I need a signed note from Felicity’s doctor. Somehow a hand written note from Felicity’s doctor hold’s more weight than a notarized birth certificate in the eyes of the Feds.
And these are they guys who want to take over our healthcare.

I think you will see that the Birth Certificate from the State, although it should stand on its own, needed authentication from a live person. There is so much theft identification taking place that Social Security has put into place an additional requirement to combat it. The handwritten note from the Doctor is not more important than the Birth Certificate and if it were offered by itself, it would also not be accepted. You either provide both are you don’t get a Social Security Card.
What a world we live in. So much crime and illegal activities going on that you have to jump through hoops to get something easy done.
