Donna Calabrese, director of the state's Office of Vital Statistics, says she hopes the new case against Jorge Alvarez Rivera is taken seriously.

The current prosecution against Rivera — also known as Daniel Salas — comes more than a decade after his activities first surfaced during a 1998 automobile accident in which 830 Kansas birth certificates were found in his trunk. He was never prosecuted for it.

The 62-year-old Mexican citizen pleaded guilty last month to making a false claim of U.S. citizenship and identity theft.
