Renewing my driver's license

In Missouri we renew our driver's license shortly before or on our birthdays. The new law requires that one has to show their birth certificate before the license can be renewed.

I'd planned to renew right on my birthday in my hometown, but my husband decided to take me out to a nearby city that day. In the middle of our outing, I realized that this was the last day to renew my license, so we decided to go to the license bureau. Right as I stepped into the office I realized that I needed my birth certificate. Rather than drive 30 miles home to retrieve my birth certificate, I decided to just go to the Health Department to get another one.

My trip to the Health Department actually was humorous when I realized that the only ID I needed to get my birth certificate was my driver's license.

So get this - the License Bureau would not accept my current driver's license - I needed my birth certificate. The only ID I needed to get my birth certificate was my current driver's license! Go figure!
