So it was that time of the year to renew my vehicle registration and get a new 2010 sticker for my Honda Civic licence plate. Determined to make a li'l use of web technology, I paid fee online and was happy to take care of the matter. When after 1 month I didnt get stickers in the mail, I contacted DMV. The 800-call was true to its character - long in waiting and fast in shutting me off. Just when my patience in keeping the call on hold was dying, I was rewarded for my persistence by a rep who answered only to tell me to hold again. Blessed I was that day, she returned back in a li'l while though.
The reason of my problem was brought down to change of address - I had moved last year and needed to notify DMV about that. And now I'd have to pay extra to have the sticker back! If I hadnt told them I'd moved, DMV would just give it to me for free. Whatta lesson. My wife went to DMV, paid extra fee and got me the stickers. How simple is that? Later I learned, adress can be changed online and then demand for a sticker to avoid extra charges.
So, just wanna share this with my readers, if you've had a change of address please inform DMV or do it online - best before applying for new stickers. With all this economic worries going around in the world, these penalties irritate you just a bit more. What else could I have done with the money? - movie+popcorn+soda, bowling game, dinner outside etc or buy a lottery ticket that could make me a millionaire from scratch...
Good Day,
Nitin
