Today, I received a notice that I'm being fined for failure to renew my Florida license. I've lived in Maryland for the last seven years and I've never had a Florida license. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a $200 ticket mailed to me for drunk driving in Maryland. I have never been pulled over for drunk driving and I have never been to Maryland. FML
Today, the DMV told me I had to pay a $39 "renewal" fee for a mistake they made. After over an hour of waiting, they printed a license without a Real ID star like my previous one. Then they tried to blame me for not asking for one. I didn't have time to resolve this two weeks ago, and now Pennsylvania says it's my fault. FML
Today, I received a traffic ticket by mail, presumably for speeding. Not a big deal, if my car hadn't been totalled three months ago. My driver's license is expired, too. FML
Today, I decided that I was going to get my front license plate put back on my car after two years of having it off. In these two years I somehow never got pulled over for it, as it is illegal to drive without one in MD. On my way there, I got pulled over for not having a front license plate. FML
Today, I received a notice of a suspended driver's license on account of my epilepsy. I have to submit my license by the suspension date, or I could be fined. The suspension date was 8 days ago. FML
Today, I went to the DMV today and sat in line for over 6 hours to renew my driver's license. Even though with the pandemic, it's been extended to New Year's Eve but I decided to get it done and over with. I get called up to finish everything, only to find out my license is suspended. FML
Today, I got pulled over for violating hands-free law and not having an updated address on my driver's license. Two days ago, I got pulled over for the same reasons. Now, I have four tickets I need to deal with. FML
Today, I was driving to the DMV to take a test, after getting some points removed from my license. On the way there, I got a speeding ticket and got my license suspended completely. 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 went fishing and the game warden stopped and asked for my license, only to find out I'd let it expire. He told me if I went and got it renewed, I wouldn’t get a ticket. On the way to get a new fishing license, I got pulled over and given a ticket for expired inspection. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Time to check for identity theft.

Since when has the DMV ever been competent at their jobs? Go down to the nearest office, and inform them face-to-face. Doing it on the phone, or online, will probably lead to them giving you the runaround.

The Maryland DMV can’t do anything for the Florida notice.

I agree. look into identity theft. This is also a scam.

Sounds like it has to do with DEMOCRATS and voter fraud to me!!!

How can you be fined for not renewing? What if you had lived there and moved? Would they fine you for moving?

The states can't force you to renew your license it's not something you have to have it's most likely a scam.....

If you don’t have a license, you need to have a non driver’s ID.

You should demand a recount. Florida bureaucrats will think that’s hilarious!

That's okay, I'm sure you've been voting in Florida for the last three elections anyway. Vote early, vote often! /sarc

Uh. Since when do they fine you for not renewing your license? You're not legally required to keep a license, you just need one to drive with.
