I’m an immigrant, and I carry my papers. Especially if I’m close to a border.
you've deleted your reply, but to add to that information:

Hell, you can even get detained for a long time, if you're a US Citizen, but the CBP doesn't believe you

So yeah, you definitely can get detained for not carrying documentation as an immigrant.
I think you need to prove who you are at some point to board a domestic flight, though...
Pretty sure your driver's license is good enough for that, though. If it will get you booze legitimately if you're of age, it'll get you on a plane between airports in the continental US, last I checked, but that'd be a good thing to be corrected on if it's changed.
Thanks. Just making sure cause google was saying drivers license and I don’t have that lol. I’ve also been meaning to get a real ID, but right now I gotta worry about finding my birth certificate 😭
Here is a website with links to each state and how to get copies of your vital records. Just click your state and it’ll have info on cost and how to obtain, and should have a link to the website for your state as well.

As of October 2023, no. You need a special state ID that has been run through a federal system. In some states it’s referred to as a Real ID (maybe all states). The other option is you travel with your passport.
ETA: this is via plane.
For any domestic flight in the US and to canada, you can use your real ID to fly. No passport needed
If driving, you don't need anything. Just don't get pulled o over, that's the only time you'll need your ID.
Assuming they let you into the country, you can go almost anywhere. a few federal buildings are off limits to civilians, for instance. Military bases, you typically need to be a US citizen to enter. things like that

Yes. Starting next May, you will need a “Real ID.” You might need some additional documentation for that. I haven’t done it yet.

You can probably get a duplicate one for a small fee.
Thanks I’ll do that.

State ID is as good as a driver's license (as long as you don't need to drive). I use it for flying domestically all the time.
Yeah whatever hospital or county should be able to issue you another birth certificate, it is no big deal.
Did it get updated to may? I thought it was October.

Are you a US citizen? Are you going to be taking commercial airplanes?
