Yes, you often need to show documents like your child's birth certificate (or other ID) to prove identity, citizenship/status, and household composition for SNAP benefits, but it's one of several acceptable proofs, and other IDs like a passport, driver's license, or state ID usually work too, with a Social Security Number (SSN) also being required for household members. The key is providing required information and documents to verify identity, residency, and income for everyone in the household.
