Gov. Wolf, waive the fee for birth certificates so state IDs are easier to get
“You’ll get zero done in Pennsylvania without a driver’s license or some other form of state-issued ID. Just try applying for a job, opening a bank account, or cashing a check. You can’t. And good luck getting into an office building for an appointment or into a hospital to visit Grandma. Basically, for those without licenses, life isn’t doable without a state-issued ID, which costs $30.50. But obtaining the ID isn’t doable unless you first present the state with a birth certificate to prove you exist.”
