Somebody could forge multiple birth records and obtain as many fake national i.d. cards as they cared to apply for during that 4 to 8 week lag.

No, no, no. The 4 to 8 weeks is how long it might take to process the application for the ID card and actually receive it. During that processing time, one of the checks would be for duplicate finger prints, retinal scans, DNA or whatever it was that we were using to uniquely identify people. During those weeks, the person wouldn't have an ID. The baby wouldn't need one and the immigrant would be operating off the immigrant ID, not the citizen ID.
