Not that I have any particularly related thoughts, but my most recent interaction with a DMV was them refusing my birth certificate as a valid form of ID because "It's printed on paper" and "what's a notary." (It was a formally notarized copy, which AFAIK is the only way to get a copy from records, you can no longer get an original if you've lost it; and this was the DMV MANAGER I was speaking to.) The entire DMV system has been so backwards I don't even know where I would start addressing it.
