St. Louis Suomi SASS #31905 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Tried to get a BC from the state of Illinois. Three months of rejection - really irritated me. So, I went to the county (Cook) in Illinois (Chicago). In a week I had my BC. It appears that my mom used her previous married last name on the BC form. Chicago recognized that I am who I am and issued the dumb certificate. I guess having an identifiable mom and dad that are married was a new trick for Illinois. Surprised that Cook County responded so quickly. Maybe because Married folks are kept in a special database. :-). Going to get the Passport shortly.....That will be another wonderful experience I am sure. I may have to get pictures of my Great Great Grand fathers graves = I have some of their records going back prior to 1838.

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 In my experience getting a passport is much easier than dealing with the DMV. Check with your local library as the one in Martinsburg, WV has a person who handles passport processing including the photos and dealing with the US State Dept. If at all possible, avoid the USPS as they are typical Govt. employees who, in my opinion, could care less about customer service.

Church Key Well, in the Live Free or Die state of NH, THE DMV folks are fo4 the most part helpfull and efficient. The passport lady at the Manchester Post Office is equally helpful. I know other states do have problems with their entitled civil servants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Careful Boys, Big Brother is watching us. Why do you want a drivers license anyway. Lots of folks don't need one, or at least don't use one. And when the green folks take away fossil fuels, you can't get any fuel anyway. Get a bicycle.

There was another depiction that was much more elaborate. Undoubtedly long since painted or plastered over, along with many other outstanding murals.
