DMV Blues

[jrodda]

I'm having a hell of a time getting my boat registered. I mailed in what should have been the necessary paperwork to Sacramento DMV HQ and didn't hear anything from them for 7 weeks. Nothing in the mail, let alone the cashed check for the fee.
So I went to the DMV last week to just do it in person, or at least get the feedback if I'm doing something wrong. Also figured I'd get my Real ID update while I was there.
Clerk tells me that my "Statement of Origin" paper is not the Manufacturer's original copy, so she can't do anything with it. So she put in all the other information and took my money to get the claim started anyways. Then she said that if the tax wasn't paid on the boat then I'm gonna have to pay that up, too...

So you can imagine how sad I look in my new license photo that I just got in the mail today!!!

I emailed the boat manufacturer telling them what the clerk told me and they mailed out the Statement of Origin document along with the other stuff. The clerk told me to just mail it in to Sacramento, but that worked out so well the first time....

Can't wait for this registration garbage to be done so I can go f##k up some bass.

I'm with you on this one Jeremy, I think I'd hand carry it in

I feel for you.  Hopefully you get everything figured all out!  I'm looking forward to see the bass slayer in action!

Do you have AAA?

Do you have AAA?

I do, why do you ask?

The AAA office can do a fair bit of DMV stuff.

AAA does vehicle registration services.  Pretty much a bit of DMV stuff, except anything regarding to licenses. Registering a boat should be right up there I would think.
