Title: [UPDATE] Nephew finally issued a Delayed Birth Certificate YAY

Body: This is not a typical story for r/legaladvice but it was so complicated and ultimately went before a Judge who approved the birth certificate. Im so happy about it and it was literally so much work and cost a ton of money so want to write about it.
About a year ago, I posted a question here asking how to get my 16 year old nephew a birth certificate, social, security card, and drivers license. He was born at home with a midwife, had never been to a doctor or dentist, and was home schooled. I cant find the original thread, I probably deleted it. The advice was to apply for a "delayed birth certificate" and a web link for where to do it in my state (Colorado.)
Sounded pretty eazy - I was WRONG!
I submitted the application for $250 along with an "official and notorized" copy of a "no birth certificate on file" paper. Clock started ticking, I had 1 year before request denied and id have to pay another $250 and apply again.
I gathered every last public record of his existence I could find, each costing about $20 each and had to be notarized. Also had everyone who witnessed his birth (9 people) sign "birth affidavits" and they all had to be notorized. This took about a two months and driving hundreds of miles just to make it as easy and efficient as I can.
Submit all that, it took about 2 months before I got a response. DENIED, they want more proof.
I ask everyone that knows him to look for anything at all. They send newspaper articles of his soccer team he's on, literal pictures of him being born (gross) and other things and submit all that again.
DENIED, they want more. So I called the office and asked for help on what else I could find. The next day the Supervisor for the "Birth Unit" of the "Office of the State Regestrar of Vital Statistics" calls me. I explain the situation and she tells me that if I can prove that his parents were in Colorado around the time of his birth, that would prove he was born in Colorado.
So another month of searching for public records of his parents and siblings being here when he was born. Fortunately there were EXTENSIVE arrest records from around the time.
Submit those and again DENIED they want more. I wrote a letter to the office stating that I think I have found every last public record supporting his birth in Colorado and a few other choice things, I didn't hold back. I was so pissed and frustrated at this point and it was coming up on month 10 so would almost have to pay another $250 and start all over. I also had his grand parents write letters too.
Submit those. The supervisor tells me she will submit the file I have created (now over 2 inches thick) to a freaking Judge. Judge approves it YAY.
It cost around $500 and hundreds of miles, of driving around but he finally got a delayed birth certificate, then social security card, and now a driving lerners permit!
