Bureaucracy, meet technology

I got my new license yesterday! It took two and a half hours, but my name change is complete. It went smoothly, except for the computer, which knew it held the advantage and mocked the feeble efforts of my DMV agent. It cooperated after an hour of help from Supervisor Kitty, tech support, and a call to someone Kitty knew at another office.

Wow, you were able to do it in one shot? We were sent home 3 times before the Virginia DMV people were satisfied that we had sufficiently proved our current existence, my previous existence (maiden name), our residency, and actual wedded status. It took us 3 days to get it done! You should see my drivers license photo at the end of all that! Boy do I look ticked.

Congratulations for making it all the way through. (It’s actually much easier to get a marriage license in VA than a driver’s license.)
