Just yesterday, my SIL went to DMV to get her license in the state where they now live. She’d requested a certified COLB from birth state, and didn’t really look at it when she got it. The DMV chick noticed that the first name on the COLB is different than what she’s always been called, what’s on her SS card, etc. (Something like “Lorraine” vs. “Lorena”.) No new license.
I guess now she either has to officially change her name to what she’s always been called, or do something to have her birth certificate revised. Her parents aren’t living, so she can’t ask them WTF?
