"Change your signature"

Today we set the alarm early to be in time at the town hall. We received a letter passed Friday at 2:30 pm to come over as soon as possible with ID. No need to make an appointment. We intended to do this month's shopping as well, preferable before the town hall visit. From 9-11 the elderly can shop, they say.

Immediately the door was opened by the guard. They clearly talked about us. What is going on? It is the third time we need to come over, show our papers so my child receives it's driver's license. This time we had a lady who told us a mistake was made. My child has three Christian names and they only wrote down two. Since the ID says three names and their computer program doesn't allow to fill out three names.... Blah, blah, blah. It's the first time I hear this nonsense.

She filled out everything again, the child had to sign and again a photo was made. Back at the desk, she started calling, and at the end of the story after one hour over there, she said we had to come back tomorrow. Tomorrow?
Yes, tomorrow she didn't know how to fill out three Christian names (I know how) and told us the organization in the city had to change the two names into three as well. Tomorrow the colleague who knew would be back. I wonder which colleague that may be since we didn't meet anyone who knows anything so far.
Another suggestion of her was my child would skip the name and change the signature. Changing the signature? The signature should be the same as on the ID/passport which is the main official document.

We decided to visit the driving school's office but it was closed. At home, we called the other office in the city and left a message on the answering machine. They called back and said they filled out all names plus gave the phone number of the organization the lady in the town hall tried to call. We called and they said they did fill out all names even spelled them. A strange story.

Next, we tried to call the lady at the town hall who gave us her number. She asked us to call if we figured out more. Guess what? The number doesn't exist. This means we will head over there again. I doubt that driver's license will arrive soon. Not this year with Christmas and closed days ahead. I feel annoyed and disappointed. The stories told don't fit. The lessons and exams cost an awful lot of money and this sounds like an endless story where everyone blames someone else.

"Change the signature and name," she said.

Uh? I'm confused how your child has 3 names? And the person responsible for the papers in that doing his/her job at all.

We all have three names, my parents, aunts, uncles, my children. It's normal to us. One of these names (some have 12 or more) is the name they call you with. With me it's my third name, with my eldest her 3rd name too, same with the youngest.

We went back for the 4th time! Everything needed to be done again. This time it was the guy who "helped" us for the first time (couldn't find the child passed we went to the driving school to inform), the second time he only filled out 2 names (3 are official and on the ID which means it was wrong and someone noticed that, wrote a letter and told us to go back asap) and the third time a lady kept us busy for an hour to tell at the end she would call back (didn't call) and gave us a wrong number.

Let's hope the license will arrive. It feels as if they do it on purpose and I need a lawyer. ☹

Merry Christmas and thanks for dropping by. 🍀💕

It is frustrating for sure and I never been in such a situation. It feels to me that guy wasn't in the mood to to his job well. Apparently quiet normal and no apologize. Perhaps purpose till the kid is 18?

Merry Christmas 🍀💕
