It really is a nightmare. I should have switched my license immediately, instead I procrastinated. Then I got robbed. My new Jersey county birth certificate was not good enough for the exemptions process, so I had to get a state issued one. Well, they wouldn't give me that without I.d, which was stolen. Took 3 months to get that, and then I had to submit every piece of information I had on myself, even my daughters birth certificate to Denver, and they took to weeks to determine that I am in fact myself and not an illegal immigrant. Having no identification for 4 months was awful, I couldn't even return stuff to Kohl's.
