All those DMV jokes?

I found out where they originate from.

For us to get new driver's licenses, after looking over all the copious options (since our passports have both expired) we have to have:

1) Old driver's license
2) Birth certificate
3) Utility Bill
4) Credit Card

and the kicker...
5) Social Security card

Can someone *PLEASE* explain to me what a SS card that has not my birthdate or residence has to do with getting a NY driver's license? Anyone?

The birth certificate is required because they won't accept the birthdate on the old license as proof.

Getting a new passport takes less documentation. Hell, getting my last security clearance took less.
