This has happened with my 97 year old Mother's tax return for several years. After e-filing a couple of years only to get rejections and having to paper file, I started automatically paper filing her returns. No additional info (like copies of driver's license, birth certificate, etc.) is required when paper filing. Hopefully, you won't have any problems with paper filing.
That is usually caused by an error in the Social Security Administrations data base where the IRS gets the DOB and name information from. You need to contact the SSA to verify and correct it's database or it will continue to reject until fixed.
