My car registration is up at the end of this month. I got a renewal in the mail weeks ago, which I promptly returned with the CSL50 form, current inspection, and a check. But, as I predicted to Hubby, I've had it returned twice now. The first time, they stated my power of attorney which they had on file was expired (the car is registered in my and my hubby's name, which is why I needed it). So I photocopied it, wrote a letter, and even highlighted the expiration date of the POA, then sent it all back. Today, it was all sent back to me again, this time explaining that they need me to provide them with the original copy of the POA.
I wish they had asked me that the first time. Then I would have saved myself postage and patience! Why couldn't they explain that I need to submit the original in the first place??? And do they really expect me to send the original POA to them, when it's the only way I can get stuff done in my husband's name? And my biggest question is, why is this suddenly an issue?? I just renewed Hubby's car (which is only in his name) last month with absolutely no problem. If the POA was still valid for then, and the expiration isn't even until the end of August, then why the problem??? I'll tell you why- because they want to make a hormonal pregnant woman whose husband is deployed as friggin crazy as possible. It's a conspiracy, I swear.
The DMVs are closed now, but on Monday, I will be marching right into their offices and demanding to know why they insist on making this as annoying and complicated as they have. At least I'll have the weekend to wind down, because I was pretty livid when I open the letter.

Update: Went to the DMV, demanded to know why they suddenly needed the POA, got a roundabout bullsh!t answer, but also got a nice smile... so I caved and smiled back, and walked out with my new registration less than 90 seconds later. Ah, I'm a pushover.
