Pregnant women should never have to go to the DMV

Today was an errand day for me, which I was dreading to being with. I prepared to go get a new license made and I did my research. It said they accept credit card and they wanted a piece of mail. So today, I grabbed a piece of mail, my debit card and trudged to the DMV.

After waiting in line, I got to the front of the line and hand the woman my information. Apparently, in my pregnancy induced stupidity, I had grabbed an envelope with my old address, which did not work at all. I felt very silly and figured I would have something in my car that would work. So I went back out to my car and found the appropriate mail. I get to the lady again, and she starts the paperwork when I see a sign that says we accept credit cards, except Visa.

WTF? Who doesn't accept Visa?

So after a pissed off trip to the ATM down the road, a driving test, and an eye test, I now have my new license. 

The whole thing made me about hysterical because I was already tired and getting all of this done required 3 trips to the bathroom to pee.  

Gargh. Rant Over and sorry for the length :)

    I have learned to go to the DMV on a Wed. never a Friday. Never before or after a holiday either. Also next time see if you can print the form online to do the paperwork. It saves you so much more time.

    Your post makes me so glad that my driver's license will last until I'm 65. It will say I'm under 18 until I'm 65. It's awesome. Yay for Arizona licenses!

    Interesting fact I was not aware of, at least at Illinois DMVs ... if you are pregnant, you should tell them and they will give you a special ticket that makes them serve you faster. I wish I had known that before sitting in an uncomfortable chair for an hour and literally being the absolute last person served for the day when I got my license renewed last weekend. When I finally got up to the counter the guy said "Oh! You're pregnant! You should have been up here a long time ago, why didn't they give you a D ticket?" My only response at that point was : Indifferent

    Sorry you had such a bad experience.

    Glad I read this story, I have to get my license changed next month since we're moving. I still have an address from like 3 apartments ago on my license. I wasn't aware I had 30 days to change it or I could get a ticket. Oops :P
