So we got married on 9/23, and at the end of last week (I think Friday) I had called the township where we got married to see if my certificate was there and ready for me to pick up copies of it. They looked up my name and said they had received it from the church the day before and it was sent out for processing, and they should have it back by this Tuesday. So she said to go there after Tuesday and I could get it.
Well I just called to verify that it was definitely there now, before making the trip there (I don't want to mail the application because I'd have to mail my passport for identification and I'm not doing that).. the person told me that they aren't allowed to tell anybody over the phone if the certificate is there, that I'd have to go there to show proof of identity and then they can see if it is there. So I was like "so you want me to drive there to get it when it might not be there?" and she said yes.
Has anybody experienced this before? This seems ridiculous to me. When I told her how the other person had given me information she said that she wasn't supposed to do that. I'm going to go there now I guess, and hope it is there, because I've been driving around with an expired driver's license since 9/30 ( I wasn't going to renew it and then go back to get my name changed a week later).. so I really need to get this done!
ARghghghghg so frustrating!!
