what the FU(K. so, I turned 21 on January 6th. That's dandy. Online on the RMV's site I read that it's recommended that you go to the RMV "at least" 7 days BEFORE your license expires to give them ample time to do everything. That's fine, makes sense I guess. So I went on December 30th, and renewed it. In the meantime I got a HORIZONTAL temporary license, and the lady at the RMV was helpful and (as always) glad to take my money...without any warning of this -->> I just got the new license in the mail today... and it's a "Under 21", vertical license. All the info is correct on it however. How in the hell!!?? So, I called and waited on hold for almost 30 minutes to finally explain this to some dumb bitch who told me "Oh, well when you're turning 21 you need to go to the RMV on your birthday. If you renew it beforehand you'll be given another Under 21 license. If you want to get your new license fixed you'll need to pay the $25 fee and wait another 5-7 business days for us to mail it to you." As if I was just somehow supposed to KNOW this, and as if they weren't able to figure out if I'm renewing my license within a week of it expiring and I'm turning 21, I NEED A 21 AND OVER CARD. Jesus Christmas. Also, the license expires on the birthday... They seriously expect every person who's turning 21 to go in on THAT day to renew it?
Long story short I paid the damn $25 but what the hell.
