Dreading renewing license
Yes there is a small chance I might have to be the random person to take the written test (slim chance), but it's the picture most of all. Every license I have had over the years, each picture gets worse and worse. I do need a better picture this time around. I could opt to renew by mail here in IL (they think I am a good driver!), but I'd be stuck with this bad pic for another 4 years (plus ID has old address on it).
Hoping to renew over lunch someday... we'll see.
Re: Dreading renewing license
I feel ya...
I went in to get my Iowa license at the same time I had my name changed. I ended up having to get twice because the first time, I didn't have enough time (apparently you need everything under the sun that proves your identity here). I stopped at the DMV on my way to work. I got there a few minutes before it opened so I stood in front of the door thinking I'd start the line. When the lights went on, the girl runs up from the bench she was sitting on and she was there first. I was ready to just let her go but a guy came up and goes tells the women to wait her turn. I was clearly in line first. A bunch of other people who were around started complaining about who was in the are first. They started having it out with each other as I slipped inside. Didn't realize people got so worked up about it. Grr... Still makes me made. It's called a line. Not that hard to figure out.
Sorry. Vent over
There are always really sketchy people at the IL license bureau facilities.
When I moved here from MO I had to take the written test. Pain in the butt. I tried to make a joke with the woman who looked at me like I was an idiot.
Back in MO I had to renew my license on my 21st b-day. I was living in Columbia at the time and didn't have my birth certificate with me. The woman was trying to get me to pay a ridiculous amount on the other side of town for a copy. Um, no! I stood my ground and got her to give me a sticker saying I had a 60 day extension to renew it. I came back the following week after having gone home for my birthday and picked up my birth certificate.
The social security office is just as "fun" as the DMV. Some creep-tastic woman decided to sit by me for 90 minutes and tell me her life story.
I had to take the test too!!! I think they make all of us out-of-staters do that when we forfit the other license. I also had to change my name at that time, so I had to bring in a ton of documentation (where I live, who I was, who I am now).
