So, little bro had to go to the DMV to get the title on the beater transferred to his name only so we can donate it to charity. He’d already done one title transfer on the other car, went in w/the court docs, death cert and wham, bam, thank you ma’am, shiny new title in his name.
Well, today they insisted that I had to be present to sign the old title as well since my name is also on the court documents. Oh, and that other person, too. Then my brother explained 2 of the 3 names on said document were me, and that f/k/a means “formerly known as” and as such there would only be the two of us at the signing ceremony.
So, I go over there, we get back in line, wait about 45 minutes, get a different clerk and wham, bam, thank you ma’am, he’s got a shiny new title in his name. Please note I did not mention that I did anything besides sit around waiting for 45 minutes with him. I’m not even sure this particular clerk even looked at the court papers. As the clerk is off collecting his change for the transfer, he’s mouthing “I am so sorry!” to me - hell, it was exactly what I expected would happen.
With this spectacular level of consistency, in the same branch no less, how is it even plausible that ID fraud could be occurring in our great state??!?
