Cuz it takes like a few weeks to process and get your passport and documents back…

If the government wanted to, theoretically, they could “accidentally lose” the documents…

    I mean, I like that you’re attempting to troll, but it kind of falls apart with a simple internet search for “state certified birth certificate copy,” if that’s the “physical document to prove your citizenship,” you’re talking about.

      Oh yes. Let me get a copy of my birth certificate from the government to give to the government. No problem with that process. Very efficient.

      Its not even trolling. If you are a foreign born American Citizen getting a new birth certificate isn’t exactly easy. This why I always have kept two copies of my Birth Certificate.

        Saying “it feels like a trap” is what prompts the comments about trolling. “This is dumb,” or “this is regressive and adds a tax on poor people who want to get a passport, requiring them to spend money to get copies,” are legit complaints. Some kind of nefarious plot? Unlikely in the extreme.
