Anyone out there had their U.S. passport application delayed because the identification provided "is not sufficient for passport purposes?"

So the birth certificate with the seal and the TN driver's license are not sufficient...

To add to the joy I have to fill out some questionnaire accounting for my whereabouts and detailed work history over the last 10 years.  In addition I have to dig up obscure documents like old school transcripts, yearbook photos, selective service registration cards, old work id's, medical records, and whatever else, spanning a wide range of time (like 5 years old at least).

Who keeps old documents like those around anymore?  I threw out my yearbooks years ago (bad memories).  Identity theft specialists recommend shredding most of what is included on the passport office's "personal identification list."

Maybe I need to contact a state representative and ask him "what the heck?"

Not whining as much as seeking insight and possible strategies/shortcuts.

Gotta love bureaucracy...
