In Oregon, you need to present a valid birth certificate to renew your DL or ID.
Every. Single. Time.
So, only natural born US citizens can have a DL in Oregon......if so, it is the only State in the nation with such law. In the rest of the nation you do not have to be a citizen to have a DL, let alone a natural born one.
Me thinks you do not know what you are talking about.
Sure enough, I checked at OR DMV site, and you DO NOT need a birth certificate.
Used the BC I had from childhood to get ID, lost BC later in a move, was unable to renew ID until I could afford to replace BC.
How did you prove the BC was yours? It does not have a picture (a picture of a new born baby is useless), it just says someone was born somewhere at some time, so a BC it the worst possible ID out there.
In Michigan, the first thing you do at the poll is fill out a small (about 3" x 5") piece of paper with your name, address, DOB, and signature. The signature is matched right there before you are given a ballot.
Hmmm... While voting in IL, I did have to sign next to my name on the registered voters list for my election precinct but my signature was never matched to anything.

In Michigan your signature at the poll is matched to the signature on your voter registration form, which they have on file.
Believe it or not, there does exist a large number of poor black folk who don't have a birth certificate anymore due to loss etc. etc. and who were born long before digital records were kept. Trying to prove themselves that they're Americans is no easy task.
I was born before digital records were kept. I can get a certified copy of my birth certificate from the county of my birth (Cook, in IL) for $15 any time I want. BTW, that's about what a pack of cigs costs in Chicago. You see "poor Black Chicago folk" smoking all the time.
