George Carlin was a very wise man that no one took seriously.

Queue Stupid part, at the passport office.
"Could I see some ID?"
I wanted to punch myself in the face.

CDN Aviator said:It got even worse when they told me that my only other option was to get a citizenship certificate. My certificate of registration of birth abroad is no longer accepted. So i called the GoC service line........
I couldnt get a DL because i didnt have a citizenship certificate
I couldnt get a citizenship certificate because i didnt have a DL
Very frustrating.
CDN Aviator said:Something similar happened to me when i lost my driver's permit
Me: I lost my permit and need a replacement
DMV : Ok, whats your name ( pulls up my file and there is a jpeg of my permit)
Me: thats easy
DMV : Do you have ID with you ?
Me : Sure do....pull out military ID
DMV: Oh, thats good for secondary ID....you will also need primary ID
Me: Ok, whats primary ID ?
DMV : DL, birth crtificate or health card
Slightly puzzled, i ask if a passport is good ( i dont have a provincial health card and my birth certificate is German)
DMV : No sir we dont accept passports as ID
Me: Ok, why not ?
DMV : It doesnt prove you are a canadian citizen
So i open my passport on the page where it says " the bearer of this passport is a Canadian citizen"
DMV : well you can be a citizen of 2 countries
Me : Yes but one of them HAS TO BE Canada
DMV : Sir, we dont accept passports as ID
Thank f**k someone found my DL in Hawaii and mailed it back to me.
downhillslide said:Same deal (born in Germany Cdn Army Brat) trying to get a replacement SIN. Certificate of Birth abroad not acceptable nor is passport or Mil ID to prove you are Canadian citizen, told to apply for Certificate of Canadian citizen card through Immigration Canada where they will accept my certificate of birth abroad. That process could take 10 months. What a fine bureaucracy we have.
