Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the bank to open an account. It took hours for them to tell me that I needed my driver's license, passport, and residency paper. I returned with the documents. They then said that they couldn't help me. FML
Today, I had to get out my birth certificate to prove to my dad that today is my birthday. This has happened before. FML
Today, after 3 months of job hunting, I finally got a job. But now my birth certificate and social security card are somehow lost, and I can't start until I let them see a copy. FML
Today, I went to go get a new ID because my wallet was stolen, which had my social security card in it as well. I found out that to get your ID you have to have your social security card, and to get your social security card, you need your ID. FML
Today, I failed to get my driver's licence. My father was the instructor. FML
Today, I was told I can't renew my Identity Card without a Social Security Card, and I can't get a replacement Social Security Card without an Identity Card. FML
Today, I finally got my ass into gear and went to the DMV to renew my driver's license. I waited in line for over two hours, only to find out that I had brought my library card instead of my license. FML
Today, I realized that I'm on the top of not having my drivers license/ state ID (I was submitting my taxes and needed it) I also threw away my brand new passport because I thought it was trash in my boyfriends car. FML
Today, I finally went to the DMV to replace my lost license. After waiting for almost two hours, I casually rummaged through my purse. Something strange inside the lining caught my eye. It was my license. FML
Today, I didn't get my driver's license, even though I didn't make any mistakes because my examiner said it was only my first time taking the exam, so it wouldn't matter if I failed. Now I have to pay another €240 for a second exam. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So pretty much right now you are just destined to fail?

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't a drivers license and a regular id considered to be a state license? To obtain either you'll still need the same info. Atleast in my state it's so.

Get the BC application notarized by a notary public...

17- A notary has no say in whether or not a birth certificate is valid or not. So even if one did sign one, the DMV or whoever won't accept it because there isn't the states "seal".

#22 Not ever birth certificate has a seal on it especially if you where born before it was required

Your birth certificate is a matter of public record. Anyone can go get a copy of it. Seriously. I had a friend from my home state go to the court house and get a certified copy of mine and mail it to me.

I phoned the city clerk's office of the city where I was born (where the hospital was, not where my parents lived then), they told me the fee (under $10), I sent them a check, they mailed me copies of my birth certificate complete with the city seal. A common request for them. Small delay and a small fee, but solved everything.

Not saying that I don't see your point, but am saying that it shouldn't be as difficult as the OP is saying it is to obtain their birth certificate.

Your parents have a license/passport, so they can get the certificate for you. Just sayin'...
