She might have a birth certificate, but it'd be so old they probably won't accept it.
Read the article before commenting please. She has "lots of documents", including a birth certificate and a marriage certificate. That, along with a declaration from a guarantor, should be enough to get her a photo card. Then she can get her health card.
The point is "Why should she have to do that, spend an additional $35 for the photo ID when the probability that she is who she is without photo ID is realistic and significant? And why should she have to wait longer to get the photo ID and then the OHIP card?"
So we should just issue OHIP cards to anyone who walks in the door now because they probably are who they say they are?
