    What’s wrong with passport offices? Here in the states I tried to get my passport in my teen years. I filled all the paperwork paid for it and everything when it came time to get the passport they were just like"you don’t exist your social security number isn’t real" and that’s b******* since my mom had been literally filing taxes with that number as a dependent my entire life. The passport office said tough s*** fax me all your ID information maybe we can do something. So I literally hooked up a fax machine in 2014 and sent everything off but still nothing.

    Tl;Dr US passport office told me I’m not a person and took my money anyway.

      A. Call your Congress critter. Part of their job is tracking stuff like this down.

      B. Go check with SSA immediately. That can be a big problem later.

      I’m not familiar with how voting works in America but like…

      Can you vote? I mean it thinks you’re not a person, can non-people vote?
