  • "[Am I wrong] for not giving my mother my own birth certificate, SS card, and passport back?"

    When I moved out of my mom's house, I took my birth certificate, Social Security card and passport. The passport I've had paid like $200 for recently I
  • asked her if she had my high school diploma and if I could have it so I could get back into school she said that she would look, but she got really mad that I had my own birth certificate,
  • Social Security card and passport and said that they aren't mine legally they are and I told her that she says that I can get a copy but I can't have the originals and I need to give them back. I told her
  • no she's more than welcome to get a copy but as for the originals, they are mine she doesn't need them unless she's trying to do fraudulent stuff. I told her if she can get me a copy that's fine but I will not pay for it.
  • I heard it's a tricky process and I don't want to do that because I have the originals anyway to sum it up. I ended up telling her I'm
  • not going to give you my birth certificate, Social Security card and passport especially the passport since I paid for it because she has no necessity or legal right to it.

  • Tdluxon ⚫ NTA You didn't say your age but it sounds like you are an adult, in which case there is no reason why your mom
  • would need any of those things and there are plenty of reasons you should have them (if you want to travel, you will need your passport,
  • etc.). Not sure if she is trying to pull something shady or is just weird but they belong to you and there's no reason that she should have them or needs them (or your diploma).
  • drinking-up-the-tea. If you're old enough to move out those documents are yours to keep. Why does she want them so badly?

  • Am guessing you are an adult your mom no longer - has any right to your documents unless you want her to have them. Make sure
  • you do a thorough credit check and see if she has opened any cards/accounts under your social security number. Good luck OP.
  • Icy_Department_1... NTA. You are an adult now and need your original documents. Contact your high school for copies of your records.
  • I find it really weird that your mother insists on having all of your original documents and trying to say that they don't belong to you. They do.
  • Is there any chance she would be up to anyhing nefarious, like opening credit in your name? Or does she think you're too irresponsible to hold on to your own documents?
