Birth certificate..

Was pop quizzing my mom over the phone about her birth certificate.

Her response "You have to go ask the midwife who delivered me for a birth certificate. there was no record keeping then. I was born in our ancestral home! The only thing I have is my high school certificate which mentions my date of birth"

Now how do people who try to process permanent residency for their old parents deal with this?

If you have been through this please let me know what to do!
