Back when I got my driver's license in the late 90s, Pennsylvania couldn't handle Scottish surnames, so my last name ended up "MC BETH" after I wrote it on the form as "McBeth" (which is ludicrous, there have been Scots people in Pennsylvania far longer than there have been licenses). When I moved to Virginia 7 years ago, Virginia could handle it, but my PA license showed a "MC BETH", so my VA license shows "MC BETH". Before they issue the license, they give you a form to review. They warn you to check the form for errors, because errors are "serious business" with "serious consequences". So I point out the space on the form, that it is not the correct spelling of my name. The clerk got quite surly with me. It didn't matter that all the other documentation I had to submit--including my birth certificate--along with my change of residency showed "McBeth". Apparently, the PA DMV of 1998 was infallible and I'm now trying to pull some sort of fraud fastball in VA in getting that space removed.
