I don't remember who started the thread about how many copies of the birth certificates people have, but I wanted to say thank you on 2 levels.
First, it motivated me to find out how to order and actually do it. Then, because I had to send a copy of my ID, I got my request returned saying it needed to be a current ID. I was irritated, like wtf, my driver's license is current! Turns out it expired at the beginning of last month and my 60 day period to get it renewed was almost up. Who knows how long it would have taken me to notice that and the hassle of getting it renewed after that period! So thank you very much!
