    Yeah, he’s just in an unfortunate situation where he never needed to get any of the evidence States now require as proof of citizenship. And he likely never had to back then when he was younger because the rules weren’t as strict as they are now.

    • Birth certificate or certified copy of birth certificate issued by a U.S. State or by the U.S. Department of State (for persons born abroad to U.S. citizen parents who registered the child’s birth and U.S. citizenship with the U.S. Embassy or consulate)

    • U.S. passport, issued by the U.S. Department of State Certificate of citizenship issued to a person born outside the United States who derived or acquired U.S. citizenship through a U.S. citizen parent

    I wonder if has any of the secondary evidence that is accepted:

    • Baptismal certificate
    • Hospital birth certificate
    • Census record
    • Early school record
    • Family Bible record
    • Doctor’s record of postnatal care
