I went to town yesterday to change my driver's license to AZ from MO. After waiting 30 seconds to get to the agent, I had a very pleasant visit.
Her: Do you have your birth certificate? Me: Yes, here it is. Her: And your current driver's license? Me: [handed it over] Her: Do you wear glasses? Me: Not to drive, just to read. Her: [chuckle] Her: You have a motorcycle endorsement. Do you want to keep it? Me: Yes, please. Her: Step over here and look into the camera. Me: [Full compliance with official instructions] Camera: [Click] Printer: Wwwwrrr, click, buzz. Her: Here's your temporary license. The real one will be mailed within a few weeks. Have a nice day. NO Eye test! NO written test! NO DNA or fingerprints! NO restrictions for corrective lenses even though I was wearing glasses for the whole process. Unfortunately, NO date with the agent. Don't tell anyone, but AZ is AWSOME! |
| When I moved here for California, where if you went to the DMV the line started outside the building and would be hours of waiting…. I went to the MVD in town and I was shocked, no test and a “life time “ license, the place was clean and organized. WOW….When my parents came over a few years latter, they had the same royal treatment, and they were in their late 80’s, they were so worried that they would have to test…nope. Arizona is cool…. |

Unfortunately, I'm 64, so my license has to be renewed next year and then every five years after that . . .with a vision test |
