it should be so simple to get a copy of your certified birth certificate but nope... plus it's annoying that the dmv wants my certified birth certificate and can't take the one I have because california is fucked in the head and wants to change shit and now I had to pay to get a copy of it but first I have to print out a form and have a notary public be present and sign and date it and then submit that to the place and then they will process my order to get me my copy which could take some time too ugh all because I want a damn REAL ID so I am able to travel and do all that jazz
