What do you need to start getting ID?
In order to get it, everyone seems to require ID that she doesn't have in order to get ID.
Her lack of ID has just become more of an issue as she can't hire a lawyer without proper ID.
Her wallet was lost two years ago and she's made occasional attempts at replacing her cards. All that's she's got are her (Canadian) passport (expired for 2.5 years) and her birth certificate. No credit cards, no BC care card (she has a number but no physical card).
She's a Canadian citizen, BC resident, and has a Canadian birth certificate. She has a cellphone plan with electronic billing. My name is on our PMQ, electricity, and gas bills.
Ontario birth certificate requires a guarantor: someone from a list of occupations who has known her for two years. We're trying spouses of acquaintances at this point, but it's a stretch. No family doctor or other direct guarantor available.
Social Insurance Number requires primary and secondary ID. Birth certificate meets the requirement for primary ID, but she doesn't have secondary.
BC Service Card
No non-expired primary ID.
Passport
Her passport expired before Feb 2019, so she has to get a new one rather than renew
None of the accepted pieces of ID.
This person exists, has professional employment, family, and friends. Where's the exit for the ID loop?
