It didn’t hurt as much as I’d thought it would
Wednesday I went to the DMV to exchange my Jersey driver’s license for one from New York state, which was a good idea since my license was expiring in a few days. The main DMV office is in Herald Square at the Manhattan Mall; how suburban. Typical DMV: long lines, attitude, ugly interior, some people who care, others who don’t.
What fascinated me was how strict they are in identifying one’s self post 9/11. I had to provide my active New Jersey license, my original social security card, my original birth certificate with its seal, a bank statement and a utility bill. My social security card was so old I had to get two supervisors’ approval. It seems they haven’t made that card in decades; it makes me feel so young.
I still have to register my car.
