Starting a new thread because I didn't want the comment thread on my other post to go completely of topic.

Here is my situation; some time in 2014 my birth certificate vanished from existence. None of the official recording agencies have it. The register of deeds in the county I was born does not have it. They had it previously because I had to get a copy of it for a state license in 2007. The hospital I was born in has no record because the records room their microfiche was stored in caught fire total loss. The NORTH CAROLINA VITAL STATISTICS does not have any record in their vault. I searched in nearby counties on the off chance there may have been a records transfer error. Nothing.

My question is what do I do to prove I am who I am? All of the state issued credentials I have expire in the next 15 months. I have old military ID's, and old military credentials when I was a contractor, and a current until next year driver's license. I do not have the physical social security card though I am familiar with the number.

Maybe it is a non-issue and I am concerned for no good reason. At the moment it is puzzling.

I'm thinking create your own record...place a notice in the public records of a newspaper...do an affidavit and have your parents witness or other relatives who have first hand knowledge of the facts...have the affidavit notarized and file in the county you were born in...might also buy a family bible and record all births, deaths, marriages, etc...lots of possibilities to create your own record...something we all should do to extricate ourselves from their system. I'm also thinking using the word born vs birth ie: born date or date of incarnation so as not to confuse with their "berth" nonsense...

Let's say I wanted to go to Nicaragua, I need to get a passport, I can't do that without a certified birth certificate. How do I overcome that. I tried using an affidavit from relatives, but the dumbasses at the post office won't accept it.

The Nicaraguans have the same problem coming to the U.S.

I have ships registered in Liberia, and they are "leased" to corporations all over the world that I have no obvious connection to. No "birth certificate" required.

...but that's me. You have a far different situation. You actually WANT to have a "Person" for convenience. People who decide to inflict violence because "papers" are outside of anyone's control. The fact that everyone you can see is OK with it, should bother you.
