    I sometimes wonder, if a kid in this position grows up and gets out of the crazy conspiracy theories, what process would they even have to go to to get identification documents and such, given they’d have basically none of the expected ones used to prove identity

      Unless it was a home birth with no accredited midwife, they should have a birth certificate somewhere. You can pay for a copy from your state generally. With that, you can painfully get the rest.

      No birth certificate? Things get harder.

      Some states and counties require by law that children be enrolled in public school, even if they are later withdrawn for home schooling, so their existence is probably verifiable. Unless, as someone else stated, they were born on a compound somewhere.
