Federally Compliant?

Posted on the 05 July 2012 by Brenda @PibblesNHeathen
What an ordeal. I hate going to Delaware Motor Vehicle to being with. Whether it be going through vehicle inspection, getting tags, title transfer, and renewing my drivers license. Well today, since I was on vacation, I decided to go get my drivers license renewed. (It expires on my birthday, August 2, 2012).
Anywho, I got a letter in the mail last month from DMV about requirements to renew my license. Yeah, get this, Delaware is going to these "Federally Compliant" license. What does that mean? I'll let you check it out for yourself iDelaware Card.  My understanding is, without having this new "compliant" license, I'm unable to get into any federal buildings, can't board an airplane, and am pretty much screwed in the future. Pfft..... money scam, right?
Anywho, being I'm a woman who married and assumed my hubs last name, I had to take my Official Marriage License with me. A long with several other items:
  • My Official Birth Certificate
  • My Official Social Security Card
  • My current Drivers License
  • Two (2) forms of residency (mail) that was sent to my mailbox, with my name on it, and within 60 days of the day I go to DMV.
The hardest for me, was the two forms of residency because we get most our bills electronically. Luckily, my truck payment still comes via snail mail AND has my name on it. And thankfully, a few weeks ago, I got my medical insurance referral for my Dermatologist appointment next week. 
Still, was just a pain in the ass to get that kind of stuff together. What if you can't find you marriage license or birth certificate? You need to apply for a new "official" one before you can get your renewal done.
What's so special about this license? In my opinion, not a damn thing because I'll be going back for a duplicate soon! My picture is HORRIFIC! They do it electronically. Well, my face looks like I weigh 300 freakin pounds, I look orange (like fake bake), and I look like a total freakin grumpy ass! Argh! The woman could have taken another pic! A better one! But she was a grumpy ole, wrinkled up, leather looking bitty. Really pisses me off! Good thing I have my military idea to fall back on.  Hmpf!
Anywho............that's been my day today thus far, except for a few loads of laundry and playing with Titan (oh, when he's not snoring). :) Oh, did I mention, it's still scorching triple digit HOT here? Bleh!
