I could be wrong but I've heard that they take it when you are born in the hospital.. I was born at home, and my mother said it was illegal during the time, some years later she tried to get me a birth certificate and SSN and they had a fit about it.. although later issuing it.
Fast forward until I joined the military and had major issues with the same "birth certificate" almost to the point they wouldn't issue me a passport. I've always wondered if it's because it didn't have some kind of marker of proof of who I was via DNA... But again who knows, I have no sauce.
They do that now, but not back when I was born, as I was born way before DNA was a thing. Watson and Crick had just discovered the structure of the DNA molecule. It was decades later before DNA was used for crime solving.
