You don't think pleasing 15 women for an entire day is suspicious?
I'd be suspicious of pleasing one woman for an entire day.

Presumably Mrs Brownridge has yet to comment?

I amused myself by creating this one just now.

Helping a non-internet-savvy relative do some government stuff online, and discovered to my amusement (though admittedly, not his):

1.) In order to renew his drivers license, he must provide DPS with a copy of his birth certificate.
2.) In order to get a copy of his birth certificate, he must provide the Office of Vital Statistics with a copy of his drivers license.

That is some classic bullshit there.

Is this a Real ID renewal?

They have again postponed the requirement for a Real ID drivers license in order to fly domestically, but before they had done that, I needed to renew my license in the spring. Ifyou want the optional Real ID license, you need to bring your birth certificate, SS Card, and, IIRC, two (2) utility bills or similar to show that you live where you say you live. It's kind of random what they will accept as a utility bill. Anyway, I scrambled around to find the required random paperwork in order to get my Real ID. My wife has her name on most of that stuff because she usually processes those payments, so it was a pain for me to find acceptable proof that I lived here.

And when I was at the DMV waiting in line for an hour to get my renewal, there was a fairly steady stream of pissed off customers going back out the door empty handed after waiting in that long line because the paperwork they brought was insufficient.

It makes me a little concerned for my kids, because they have the youth license that expires sooner, but they have no utilities in their names. Zip. Nada. So how can they prove that they live here?

Ironically, a passport is easier to get, and you can use one as ID to fly when the postponed Real ID deadline rears its head again if you don't have the super special driver's license.

I'm fairly certain all of this Real ID hassle is the Republicans' doing after 9/11.

It would be really ironic if Clodfobble's relative supports Republicans.

monster · 08-26-2020, 05:03 PM

but.... does the office of vital nosiness require for the license to be non-expired?

Clodfobble · 08-26-2020, 10:14 PM

Probably. Fortunately, he has many months left before it actually expires--not least because the birth certificate is going to take 12 weeks to get here, and the next available DPS appointment isn't until January.

monster · 08-26-2020, 10:26 PM

still amusing, though. Here, if your Birth Cert is Foreign, you are supposed to provide a translation into English. Even if you were born in England. They let me off on that.....

footfootfoot · 08-27-2020, 10:26 AM

The millimeter's passport incorrectly listed her birth year as being five years earlier than it actually is. As a result she is, according to the passport, no longer a minor and older than her brother. No one noticed it, not even the customs agents in germany and in the US upon her return. Her mother is all freaked out about it and wants to get it changed. I would have left it until she needed to renew.

I don't get the urgency esp. since there's nowhere that she can travel ATM.
