This is wild. This woman somehow doesn’t have a birth certificate (Was she born at home? No hospital records?), meaning she can’t get a driver’s license or passport. She can’t vote or get married or take a plane flight. She’s stateless. How has the government not amended this by determining a legitimate identity for her? She seems trapped by the decisions her parents made to avoid any societal registration.
