OK, so here is the bottom half of my Florida drivers license-- I had to cut it off so my DL number wouldn't be out in cyber world.
As you can tell in this picture that my license expires on Jan 12, 2009-- that was yesterday!
Last Thursday I went to the MVA in Calvert county. Parked pretty far away from the court house annex. Walked to the door, only to see the sign that says, no cell phones. I walked back to the car, put my cell inside, than back to the annex. I entered the first set of doors and see another sign that says the drivers license office is only open Mon-Wed.... OK... I guess I'll be spending my birthday at the MVA.
I go to the MVA office yesterday-- without my cell phone, thinking I will be taking a quick eye test and turning over my sunshine state license for a Maryland one, but nooooooooo! It can't possibly be that easy right? Because I am from another state I have to have proff of residency here-- like an electric bill, and two forms of ID-- one of which can be a social security card. Needless to say, I didn't have a bill or a second form of ID with me. That pretty much means I am currently driving on an expired license until I can locate my passport.
With this much trouble, I can't even imagine what my Russian sister-in-law had to go through to get a drivers license here. At this rate, I'm thinking it will be faster to hop a Southwest flight to Florida and back...
Just think of all the exercise your getting walking to and from the courthouse. Um, you could go to the DMV in Annapolis, they are open Mon-Fri. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteFrom one 1972 to another...Happy Birthday!!!! I agree, try Annapolis, you should be able to get in and out fairly quickly. Over the summer my husband and I had to go to the CC Courthouse for a friend. We were running late...of course...and the same thing happened. No cell phones. There was no time to run it back to the car so we hid it in a tree and hoped for the best. Sure enough, 1 hour later it was still there. Just a thought for next time...when you have to go back to court for driving on a expired license. HaHaHa!! PS...I'm off to Disney so I will see you in 2 weeks! Kathleen
