DMV - Deranged Mental Vagrants

[ocnative]

So Social Security has the form I need, online, to change my name. The only way it could be easier would be if, (A) the form was typable online and (B) I could do this crap by mail.

California DMV has a tab for changing your name on your license. There is a hyperlink under the form name that is needed. One would ASSume that the hyperlink would lead you to a .pdf form, considering they have other .pdf files hyperlinked.

Here's what ya get at the hyperlink:

The department does not provide the DL 44 or DL 44C online because original signatures are required on the form, and each DL 44 or DL 44C contains a unique barcode which must be scanned or keyed by the DMV employee.

To obtain a DL 44 or DL 44C form, call DMV’s Automated Telephone Service at 1-800-777-0133 (available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week) to have a form mailed to you or visit your local DMV office to pick one up. Back to Main forms page

So let me get this straight, you can't put the page online and make it printable only - forcing the user to sign his/her name - or have a note saying it is only valid if we sign it there AND the barcode can't print out on my printer and be scanned? Shit I work for the state and every month I type in my timesheet and my position number and social security number produce a barcode that prints on my time sheet. That's just nutty. Guess I have to go to DMV to get the form.

Make an appt. The form takes about a minute to fill out, you can do it at the counter. The social security form also takes about three minutes, is in the lobby of the social security office, and you can fill it out while you wait for your appointment. The name change stuff is really easy.

Well the SS one I already printed out, I need to call my parents for their socials since I never write them down, but yeah I plan to make an appointment at DMV. :-)

You dont need your parents socials. You already have a social security number, you only need their information if you are getting a new social. All you have to fill out is your information and take the copy of the marriage certificate.
