4. I dealt with this nonsense in Missouri

Years ago. In order to get my drivers license renewed I needed a birth certificate. The one I had was the photostat of the original from the hospital. It is what they gave the parents here in the era of us dinosaurs.

This wasn’t acceptable to the DMV as even though it was obviously correct, it didn’t have the seal of the health department on it.

I then was directed to the county health department to get the correct version of the birth certificate and the ID I needed for that process was my drivers license which was about to expire and would not be renewed without the birth certificate I was seeking from the health department.

I got all the documents needed after paying $15.00 and walked out of the office shaking my head at the circular logic in the whole fiasco.
