BMV Woes

Category: Blue County In A Red State — admin @ 7:01 am

Buzzcut discusses his wife’s BMV woes — she had to spend $600 to get her name changed to be able to get a driver’s license.

Okay, so I moved to Indiana from Illinois this year. My wife and I went to the BMV to get our Indiana licenses. I had no problem. But my wife was unable to get a license with the correct name on it.

When we got married 11 years ago, she took her maiden name as her middle name (you know, like Hillary RHODAM Clinton).

Northwest Indiana’s bloggers aren’t taking time off on this last day of 2007.
