"All this nonsense costs lots of time and money for me and ultimately for my clients." Perhaps you could clarify how it costs both your clients money and you money as well? I'm assuming you are billing your clients for the work that is necessarily in one way or another for having to do this. Or it's part of your overhead and you base your rates in part on your overhead. For sure it's a pain but there are many things that need to be done in order to be in business. They are necessary evils like filing tax returns or collecting social security numbers and making employees fill out various government required employment forms. It's called "the cost of doing business". Little minor bs that isn't anywhere close to going away.
