I finally got my Washington state driver's license and registration.
Even though both are administered by the state Department of Licensing, they're done out of different divisions of the DOL on opposite sides of a river. So that was tricky.
I paid for all this with checks from Dolph Court, where I lived in 2001 and early 2002 after first moving to Portland. My car title said 17th Avenue, where I lived with Rian when I bought the thing. My Oregon driver's license said Alder Street, where Ben and I lived until a few months ago. I presented my Social Security card as secondary proof of id. I got that card in 1987, and my signature is a lot different now than it was in third grade. Nobody blinked an eye, everything went smoothly.
I had to present proof that I live here to get a library card, but not to get a driver's license.
