I recently started having my check directly deposited into my bank account and the amount of paperwork that had to be filled out was staggering. I went upstairs and came back with a small forest of paperwork that not only had to be filled and turned in, but had to be checked and verified by two different departments.
Ironically, getting a replacement driver's license from the DMV was frightfully easy in comparison. I anticipated that there might be some obstacles to hurdle so, I brought all kinds of identification stuff with me. I had a copy of my birth certificate, my social security card, my photo ID from the college and a couple of utility bills just in case. I patiently waited for damn near an hour with my little number square.
They asked for none of that. The lady asked my last name and got me to verify my address, which she prompted me for ("You still live at blah blah here in blah blah blah?"). It took longer to get my food order right at McDonald's that day than to get a new driver's license.
