@marcilk7534 You can contact any hospital you were born at and they will make a birth certificate and send it to you.
You can also get them from county and state health departments.
If you are adopted you can use adoption papers.
Does not matter anyway, people over 80 get retirement checks, medicare, and medicaid, and low-income housing. You cannot get any of that stuff without proving you are a U.S. citizen. If they have ever held a job or left the country, they have an ID. Not to mention needing ID to pick up prescriptions, check into a hospital, cash a check, withdrawal money from a bank, buy a house or a vehicle, make a will . . .

@marcilk7534 People who are here working here illegally are not qualified to vote and are not a part of this discussion.
ID proves that you are you. It is required to show a picture ID to prove who you are -- THAT IS A REQUIREMENT TO RECEIVE ANY GOVERNMENT BENEFITS. It is called your "primary ID."
Normally, they will accept:
Driver's license
State-issued ID
U.S. Passport
Then you have to prove state of residence and you can use a utility bill or car insurance for that. It is called "secondary ID."
In order to get a job, you HAVE TO HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER and fill in a W-4 form so they can deduct Social Security from your paycheck. And you have to show your Social Security card and your ID to the employer and they make a photocopy of it and it is kept in your personnel file.
If you are an alien with a green card, you have to show your green card and your ID.
You cannot even get a Social Security number and card without proving you are you and the government keeps a copy of it in your permanent file.
NOBODY without ID is collecting retirement from their employer -- you have to show ID in order to get the job.
Further, you are wrong about hospitals -- I have gotten my birth certificate from my hospital more than once.
This is the requirements from the Social Security website for getting a Social Security card:
"Evidence of Age:
In general, you must provide your birth certificate. In some situations, we may accept another document that shows your age. Some of the other documents we may accept are:
● U.S. hospital record of your birth (created at the time of birth)
● Religious record established before age five showing your age or date of birth
● Passport
● Final Adoption Decree (the adoption decree must show that the birth information was taken from the original birth certificate)
Evidence of Identity:
You must provide current, unexpired evidence of identity in your legal name. Your legal name will be shown on the Social Security card. Generally, we prefer to see documents issued in the U.S. Documents you submit to establish identity must show your legal name AND provide biographical information (your date of birth, age, or parents' names) and/or physical information (photograph, or physical description - height, eye and hair color, etc.). If you send a photo identity document but do not appear in person, the document must show your biographical information (e.g., your date of birth, age, or parents' names).
Generally, documents without an expiration date should have been issued within the past two years for adults and within the past four years for children. As proof of your identity, you must provide a:
● U.S. driver's license; or
● U.S. State-issue identity card
● U.S. passport
If you do not have one of the documents above or cannot get a replacement within 10 work days, we may accept other documents that show your legal name and biographical information, such as a U.S. military identity card, Certificate of Naturalization, employee identity card, certified copy of medical record (clinic, doctor or hospital), health insurance card, Medicaid card, or school identity card/record.
For young children, we may accept medical records (clinic, doctor, or hospital) maintained by the medical provider. We may also accept a final adoption decree, or a school identity card, or other school record maintained by the school.
If you are not a U.S. citizen, we must see your current U.S. immigration document(s) and your foreign passport with biographical information or photograph.
WE CANNOT ACCEPT A BIRTH CERTIFICATE, HOSPITAL SOUVENIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE, SOCIAL SECURITY CARD STUB OR A SOCIAL SECURITY RECORD as evidence of identity.
Evidence of U.S. Citizenship:
In general, you must provide your U.S. birth certificate or U.S. Passport. Other documents you may provide are a
Consular Report of Birth,
Certificate of Citizenship
Certificate of Naturalization."
