    Even better when it doesn‘t proof jackshit. Lost my ID and needed a new one so I went to my city with my birth certificate asking for a new one. And they really said that wasn‘t enough and they needed confirmation from the city I got the ID originally from that it was actually me.

    Well why did I need to bring it in the first place then? Glad it took them only six months to get me a new ID as well. Fucking german bureaucracy.

      Fucking german bureaucracy.

      We moved to Leipzig from Munich in November. Our marriage certificate that has already been vetted and approved in Munich years ago is still not approved here. We still aren’t legally married in Saxony.

      We finally got a reply that we needed an appointment in June, but there were no appointments. After checking daily for weeks we now have an appointment at the end of August.

    It’s just proof that you were born here. The government may be assholes, but they’re not philosophers.

    I am a natural-born sovereign citizen of the United States of America, not United States the corporation, duh.

    The non joke answer is that the document attempts to prove who you say you are. The joke answer is that this is an attempt and is public info that anyone can use.

    Relax. It’s just proof that you’re not from an alien species that has mastered the art of counterfeiting.
