PSA: Renewing DL
You need:
- Your original marriage license or a certified copy - even if you're not changing your name
- Birth certificate or passport
- Social security card or W-2 or pay stub
- Two of the following with your address - deed or mortgage/voter registration card/vehicle registration/utility bill
- Your first born and/or two appendages
This shiit is ridiculous, but I had no idea when I went to renew that I needed all of this. Apparently everyone has to do this once per the Department of Homeland Security.
Re: PSA: Renewing DL
Just fingerprints in Duval. I hear Leon requires urine...
Me too
But I can imagine the headache it would have been trying to decide what to do once we had a baby... so I guess I'm glad I changed it in the end.
My sister said this may be the only reason she eventually changed her name...but baby #2 is being born Oct 10th and she still has her maiden name. lol I guess in the end it didn't bother her.
ETA: Both girls have/will have BIL's last name.
This is what we would have done with my maiden as the MN. First Maiden H'sLastName. We'll probably still do that, but I should have just kept mine. Although I am glad to be rid of my middle name, so there's that.
Married is really long, people always misspell it (and my first name, too), and i just really liked the maiden name better.
First, maiden is wayyyy easier to say/spell. lol
Also I feel like I didn't think it through. I just changed it because we were getting married and I thought that's what I was supposed to do. I'm very bitter toward 23yo me for not even considering it as an option.
Probably the biggest thing though is I'm much more feministy than I was three years ago. I feel like by giving up my name I labeled myself as WIFE - which is such a small part of my identity to me and anyone who knows me, but of course the first thing that anyone who doesn't know me sees is my "wifely" name.
