What is wrong with Maryland?
I am sure there are many figuring out ways around it, but it was a royal pain in the neck trying to get a Virginia Driver's license when we moved here 2 years ago. The name on my social security card did not match my name on my Delaware driver's license and so I was unable to transfer the license until I changed my SS card.........I just never got arund to it after I got married. so even though the name on my Delaware DL and marriage certificate, which is also proof that I was born in the USA, no dice without the SScard.
Hmm, the only problems i had with getting the VA license was on their website they said it costs 7(?) bucks a year for a license and fail to mention that you have to at least get a 5(?) year license. So after an hour of waiting in line I let them know I wanted a one year license at 7 bucks. They laughed at me and I told them I was going to bill them for the hour of my life they wasted, and I would wait until my Texas license expired. Long story short (too late!) i had to bend over and get a VA one so i could vote in the last presidential election.
