You can absolutely get a passport with just a birth certificate. They take it for like eight weeks though, and it needs to be the original/certified, even though they do send it back at the end.

No, birth certificate is proof of citizenship. You need another form of id as proof of identity, separate from the citizenship.

I was told you had to have a Real ID now.
