I've always presumed (and I know there are fanfics which have explored this)
that there are Ministry Facilitators who, with a combination of Duplication
Spells, Switching Spells and Memory Charms, have created a setup of false
papers for wizards and witches (including squibs). We also know that
Gringotts changes Muggle money - they must have some sort of relationship
with the Bank of England that swaps wizard gold for pounds - then the
Muggles melt it down & turn it into gold bars or something. 
There must be some sort of interface - otherwise, how would *harry* (who
presumably wouldn't have a Muggle birth certificate in the absence of
facilitators) even be able to go to muggle primary school?
There might be a *shadow* school that Muggles think exists, which all the
muggleborn/muggleraised and "half and half" students "attend" in the minds
and records of the Muggle society (although of course immediate family knows
where they are), with school reports and everything else - magically created
- to satisfy the authorities. 

I actually think it's very well organized, but it just happens outside the
scope of what Muggles see and also outside the scope of what Wizards see &
deal with on a daily basis. 

Of course, my belief that the Malfoys are significant investors in Grunnings
has no relationship to reality at all........
