US Citizen applying for a US Passport without recommended secondary proof

[billhead 0]

Hello,

I have friend that's applying for his passport but the problem is his parents didn't get a birth certificate when he was born, he didn't get a Delayed Registration of Birth until he was 15(he's almost 30 now).

His application is on hold because they want further proof of citizenship, the problem is probably that I don't think his Delayed Registration of Birth lists the documents used to establish it, he was born at home and he wasn't seen by a post-natal doctor.

He's also always been home schooled and does not have any of the recommended Early Public Records (baptismal certificate, hospital birth certificate, census record, early school record, family bible record, doctor's record of post-natal care).

He's tried submitting a DS-10 Affidavit of Birth from an older family relative but that is still not good enough.

Any idea what he can try submitting to prove his citizenship? He also has a brother and sister applying and they are stuck in the same boat.

Thanks

It would seem that he should consult one or more attorneys who are proficient at dealing with citizenship matters.

if he and the siblings are us citizens,

then they have other stuff:

1. state id or

2. drivers license and

3. ssn and

4. voter registration card .

Are his parents citizens? If so, their birth certicate can act as supporting documents.

Voter registration and DL are not good supporting documents skipper....
