What are an adult child’s rights to their birth certificate and other forms of ID?
My fiancé is 17 years old and has been in the US for 11 years. His parents are disapproving of our marriage plans and are holding his important documents: birth certificate, green card etc. over his head. He will be 18 in a month and a half and is wanting to get these documents when he turns 18 but they are refusing to give it to him and say that they won’t. He has no other form of ID other than his social security card. What are our options?

Hi. He can file for a lost green card. This will replace his old one and be sent to the address where he lists he is living. So, he may not want to use his parents address. The form is the I-90. Let me know if he would like assistance. [email protected]
