zjevně bez dokladů


Explanation:
Key would be "Born in 1961, living in the USA," i.e. not "born in the USA". The persona speaking appears to be an immigrant. This then calls for the phrase to be understood in the border protection formal sense. Using "zjevně" as the legal term used to denote qualities "presumed to be such due to appearance" seems most appropriate, while "undocumented" is most commonly translated as "bez dokladů".

The main problem will be explaining the connection between foreign nationality and younger looks, which is already hardly obvious in English.
