I am at the D.M.V.

I didn't bring my social security card but I don't think I'll need it. It's just a license renewal.

No communal writing implements. Blue ballpoint Bics are available at the snack bar at $0.50 a pop.

This D.M.V. branch occupies a building that previously housed a department store; it's still reflected in the floorplan of the place. People sit and wait on long oak benches that could be properly called pews. Drop ceilings, flouredcent lighting.

I am no longer at the D.M.V.

Thank you for your time.

Last time I was at a DMV was the morning after working a graveyard, to get my drivers license (finally). It was scary. I hope all goes well for u.

Right then (xp)

I still need to take my exam for my license. :-(((((( I haven't as I haven't properly learned to parallel park.

24 minutes is excellent DMV throughput!

It was slightly longer, maybe 40 minutes or so. If I had to get a new registration it probably would have taken hours.

I had to renew my license recently and was in and out of the DMV within 5 minutes, no joke! (Chicagoans: Thompson Center, 9 AM on a weekday, you won't regret it.)

stevie, I didn't practice my parallel parking at all and nailed it. You can do it!

No wait I forgot to use my blinker when I pulled out. The parking itself though was ice.

we have the long wooden pew benches at my DMV too i think! or maybe that's just in a movie i've seen

the DMV near atlantic center? def. has pews.

:)

stevie, I didn't practice my parallel parking at all and nailed it. You can do it!

IF you can't parallel park in ONE GO, you FAIL here. I guess it's all to do with parallel parking being essential in Belgium. I can drive on my own (temp license) and this morning I had to drive to a street parallel (hah!) to the one I needed cause I doubt I could have parallel parked in the VERY WIDE spot in front of the house. hahahaha

Ohhhh. You should practice then.

Our DMV looks like a hotel lobby with a mezzanine level and couches arranged in a circle around a tree and shit. There's a guy who works there that looks just like Eddie Murphy.

There's another DMV closer to the house that's in a strip mall. Last time I went down there, I wound up selling my truck to the woman behind the counter.

My DMV plays Fox News on their TV.

Other than that, my past few visits have quick and easy. Even the complicated transactions!

our DMV got in the news for selling driver's license to illegal immigrants.

I am at the same DMV right now

what are the odds

same DMV as elmo

we should've coordinated and had a DMV FAP

DMV doesn't open for another 10 minutes and the line is no joke 100 deep

sigh

there is dude in line, late 50s, wearing a misfits tee

I am smoking clove cigarettes and reading 2666

I'm inside now, with the wooden pews.line is loooong.

Our DMV is a ziggurat. You cannot fuck with it.

Twitter is just like this thread! ILX should sue!

my favorite rap couplet from the last ghostface album

I have waited one hour in line to get a ticket to wait in another line

I will now answer only to my new name, F759

'Sup, F759.

what is with the dmv anyway? seems like an odd way to run a country.

Everything they sell has a RFID chip so they can secretly follow you in secret without you knowing about it!

And then they send their data to Tombot and then he laughs at you!

:-(((

Yo F759, you still there & alive?

:-(

Can u drive yet

I escaped alive after being chased through a subterranean labyrinth by mechanical dogs

(actually my blackberry just died)

I did manage to get this picture

total time: 1 hr 40 min

The red star would totally make me want one of those pens.
Also, well done on your survival.

complaints about pen: 25c

Maybe they're selling penstars! For only 50¢ you could find out what a penstar tastes/smells/writes/feels/drives/flies/flows/floats/sinks/sticks/bumps like!

you have candy for sale at your DMV??

EdIII, did the W Warwick DMV close? That's where I always remember going. And surely that wouldn't be the same DMV as Elmo...?

also: not a ziggurat.

ZIGGURAT DMV

oooohhh, the Apex!!! I think I remember someone in my family telling me that was the new DMV. Probably my aunt; my cousins are learning to drive. Beware, citizens of warwick!

yeah, pawtucket is DMV master control center of RI now

I always get some creepy cognitive dissonance from the ex-dept store interiors, like I expect to pass a pantyhose aisle on the way to get my plates.

there's a full blown snack stand there w/ coffee, snapple, candy, pens, etc

Original or certified copy of a birth certificate (birth registration notices are NOT acceptable) filed with a State Office of Vital Statistics (OVS) or equivalent agency in the applicant’s state of birth (U.S. or territorial)*;

does that mean a "certificate of birth registration" from NY is not acceptable? that's all i have :(
does anyone born in NY have anything called a "birth certificate"?

i think i have a photocopy of mine that i use when i need it for stuff like this? if your thing says "certificate" on it you should be good?

lolcanada but

A birth registration contains information about a newborn and is used to create his or her permanent identity record. The birth registration form cannot itself be used as proof of identity or to request documents such as Passports or Ontario Health Cards. Information found on the birth registration is used to create a birth certificate.

lol unreg, exactly. yeah i guess a "notice" would be different from a "certificate" so i'm good. i just get worried dumb public servants will *rolleyes* at me

as far as I know (based on following the birther controversy lol, and googling stuff just now), you really only need to pull out original/certified copy (i.e. "long form") if you're applying for a passport or immigrating somewhere. otherwise your "certificate of birth registration" (i.e. "short form") should serve you just fine. but don't necc. take my word for it.

the back of my certificate of birth registration says my original "birth certificate" is on file at nys dept of health. i think i'll be ok with this, i just never thought about it.

what if u were never actually born think abt it o_o

certificate of birth registration not acceptable!

it is a little like i was never born

i'm at the dmv
i'm at the ziggurat
i'm at the combination dmv and ziggurat

does anyone born in NY have anything called a "birth certificate"?

Yeah, I do. You should be able to get a copy.

Try this: http://www.health.state.ny.us/vital_records/birth.htm

yeah, i gotta call them. can't believe i got this far without one. i've already had licenses in 2 states!

oh boy $45

i got mine at the town clerk's office for $10 instead of going to nys dept of health. today i am going to try again. i am worried because i have lived here over a year now but you're supposed to get a license within 60 days of moving. if they find me out i will say i was considering moving back so i wasn't a "resident." also it's hard to have proof of address when all your billing is electronic :(

i don't think they'll give you a hard time about it. at the dmv they always just seem concerned about paperwork and fees, not whether you're technically in violation of something.

i don't think i can go now because i can't find my social security card :(

jk i found it, here i go again on my own

what up

RIP ziggurat

the new dmv is in cranston

it's fancy or at least rhode island fancy which means it looks like a canadian scifi movie in here

check this thread for all yr RI DMV update needs

I have to head to the DEQ today, since I finally fixed the engine. Whee.

they are on 2584 I am number 2928

there is a hurricane or maybe tropical storm approaching

I've worked several 20 hour days this week

omens of portent abound

wishin I was back in the motherfuckin ziggurat

just called 2666

last time I was at the dmv I was reading 2666

portents I tell you

god save u

no god @ the dmv

it is a godfree zone

ha i am going to the dmv tomorrow

let me know if i'm making a huge mistake by going to east harlem rather than midtown or the financial district. god forgive me i read the yelp reviews of manhattan's dmvs.

that was ok!

i mean it was bleak, but i have my learner permit

i am going to the dmv next week. they have an appointment system now.

"Please note a minimal wait time should be expected"

as long as they don't know you poisoned Scalia

Up to six weeks to receive new registration sticker! Is this a supply chain thing?

I tried to get a motorcycle inspex this summer and one of the places I went was out of stickers, so...maybe?

Keep getting these E-ZPass phishing texts this week

Oh I was getting a bunch of those a couple weeks ago.

Now it’s coinbase “alerts” by text

Didn't realize until this week that the photo on my driver's license was taken when I was 25, I'm 43 now and my next renewal isn't until I'm 50. Really not sure that license photo is too useful now much less when I'm 86% gray.
