Answer 1

Oregon has a system that's even more confusing than most states (and that's saying soething, believe me!)

As near as I can tell, you can get a copy of your birth certificate  from the Vital Records people by ordering via mail, phone, or through an online service.  The order form doesn't specify a photo ID (I think). In any case, go to this website.

Yu can download an order form (PDF format).  They've also got an information phone number somewhere on the site--but I know its also on the order form.

States all have soe alternative means of establishing your identity, so don't worry about that--you just have to dig it up .  If you are under a deadline, get busy right away, though. This can take awhile.

Good luck

Answer 2

Call the Recorder of Deeds office, in the town where you were born and see if they will issue a duplicate BC.  I had this happen too.  Usually you have to fill out a form and mail it back in.

Answer 3

If your mother or father is still alive, she can get a copy for you. If not, THIS is the problem with real ID programs. I have no idea how to help.
