I think the most extreme hoi polloi, kings and paupers experience I've had in the U.S is at the DMV. No matter how rich you are, you have to show up in person with everyone else, from the poorest mentally ill welfare/SSDI recipient who has to get someone to help them because they can't read the forms in any language, to the extremely wealthy. Everyone has to sit there and wait on those generic plastic chairs.

In many southern states the job is outsourced to private tag agents so there might be only a few actual DMV offices in big cities.

  And in my experience this means you usually have to go to both the DMV and then across town to the tag agent.

False: the truly wealthy don't drive themselves anywhere.

  They may not need to drive, but they need a state ID.

    Passports are fine, and the facilities for getting them are nicer.
