Accused of condescension again.
What is the likelihood that a person of seventy years does not have either a birth certificate or a passport? No, not homeless, has a job and drives a car.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I've never had a passport and I have known people who have lost or never had their birth certificate or even a copy. I suppose you will have to rely on your intuition.

My intuition works about as well as my memory, but thanks for this comment.

I suffer from mistrust and often impose my world view on others.
Passport, Meh. If they never left the country, why would they
You can easily get a birth certificate by sending a few bucks to the clerk of town of your birth if it was USA
. Are you trying to verify they are not a scammer? Just ask specific personal questions, like, "what was your favorite pet as a child?" One-word answers, or not even replying to the question, except with generic "oh my dear, blah, blah, blah" is cause for me to Block immediately.

What's the likelihood that a 70 year old hasn't needed either of those things for 30+ years and has no idea where they are? You used to be able to travel to Mexico, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean without a passport so they may never even have gotten one.

I was in a rush to distrust. I’m glad I asked the question, as I’m ready to move on to my next uninformed pronouncement .
Pretty high considering I too have neither.
