I effing hate the BMV. [More:]I go to take my little driver's license test so that I can have my Indiana license (my TN license expires Sunday). I was there three days ago and was told the piece of mail I had from Social Security completely worked as proof of address. So I get all my crap together: TN license, OFFICIAL state issued birth certificate, piece of paper from social security saying, "WHY YES THIS IS MAGGIE'S SS# and we are sending her a replacement card please to be allowing her to get her license thank you", and the piece of mail (estimation of benefit statement from november from SS) to prove that I surely do live where i live and that I am not fucking with the state.

I take the little test. I pass the test. Only to be told that the piece of mail that was okayed THREE EFFING DAYS AGO will not work. Furthermore, they will not accept the SAME EFFING ADDRESS on the little letter from SS about my replacement card as being proof that I live where I live.

They need something official looking that has my address on it that is less than 60 days old. They would not budge on that. Even though THREE DAYS AGO I was told my piece of mail was a-ok.

I'm going to have my dad add me to his car insurance and have them fax that shit over there tomorrow.

Oh also, it took me more than an hour at the BMV on account of their computers went down when I was there. (This actually made me laugh while I was there. Because at that point it had become hilariously annoying.)

Additionally, even though I was told they didn't have record of me ever having an Indiana license before my new license will suspiciously have the same EXACT license number as the licenses I had in high school and college. WANK WANK WANK WANK. (They gave me a printout saying that I passed and my test history and the license# is on there.)
...and now you understand why people illegally immigrate here.

I've heard that city utility or electric bills are generally accepted as "official pieces of mail with address" for some reason.

I think I used either a paycheck or an electric bill when I got my license. (Michigan)

I think I actually used a cell phone bill when I got mine. Or not... I was 16, I don't think I even had a phone then. What do teenagers do? Not like they have a utility bill.

Get ready to laugh. They didn't like the fact that the other bill I had with me had my name as MAGGIE (ss, driver's license & birth certificate all say MARY MARGARET.)

It's possible that I'm going to knock the shit out of someone over there tomorrow. Oh also, the paycheck that I get every month doesn't come with a stub and is made out to MAGGIE as well. HAR HAR.

I also don't have a checking account because I sign my check over to my Dad.

I can't find my voter registration card and even if I could it's older than the SS thing they wouldn't accept. hahahaha. I am in bureaucratic hell.
