My Birth Certificate only has my last name, and I was named with my first and middle names at my Baptism a week later. Now, under new laws, no one will accept my Birth Certificate for identification purposes. I am 76 years old, on a fixed income, and live in Albuquerque, NM. I have tried to get a State ID card and even my own bank won't accept my Birth Certificate.
