Cuz it takes like a few weeks to process and get your passport and documents back...

If the government wanted to, theoretically, they could "accidentally lose" the documents...

I mean, I like that you're attempting to troll, but it kind of falls apart with a simple internet search for "state certified birth certificate copy," if that's the "physical document to prove your citizenship," you're talking about.

    Its not even trolling. If you are a foreign born American Citizen getting a new birth certificate isn’t exactly easy. This why I always have kept two copies of my Birth Certificate.

    Saying "it feels like a trap" is what prompts the comments about trolling. "This is dumb," or "this is regressive and adds a tax on poor people who want to get a passport, requiring them to spend money to get copies," are legit complaints. Some kind of nefarious plot? Unlikely in the extreme.

    Exactly. "This sux," is not the same as "it's a TRAP," hence the accusation of trolling.

    I'm not saying its an literal actual trap, its more of a colloquial/casual way of saying things that some people apparantly didn't get... 🤷‍♂️

    Its like you know people say "the cat showing the belly is a trap" thing? Even tho not every cat would scratch you.
