People with new identities courtesy of witness protection get birth certificates for their new names.
Very few countries allow asylum-seekers to vote in national elections at all, regardless of how well-documented they are. If one becomes a US citizen, they get a certificate of naturalization, which is explicitly listed as acceptable proof of citizenship in the bill.
This proposed law is awful, but those two specific concerns aren’t affected either way.
