My ex-wife had the same name as a woman in another state who had beaten up a cop and done jail time. So every time my wife's driver's license came up for renewal, the DMV decided she was that criminal, and refused to issue the license. This happened so often, she eventually was on a first-name basis with the DMV director, who had to intervene every time. I'm guessing this problem due to the DMV in our little state using an ancient computer system, perhaps written in COBOL in the 1960s. I can just see the code now, where it compares the name, but not state of residence or any other identifiers.

- razingeden 10mo agoi had the exact same first/last name / birth year as a kid in my school (town of about 3,000) and were both “juniors” so our dads both have the same name. that makes four of us. unfortunately that guys got some problems .. duis… domestic batteries.. drug possession .. i have been walked out of a couple jobs for “not disclosing my record” and having to sort that out. then the one time i did get into trouble. my expungement was denied because i had “so many priors”…… and then i had to go back and explain that NO, thats not me. it was approved. then process servers, warrants, derogatory credit entries cause the guy doesnt like paying his bills. i eventually got a sealed name change and that was the end of that.
- dirtybirdnj 10mo agoNo, those are the people who refuse to upgrade the old COBOL systems. They are allowed to drive.
- phyzome 10mo agoWe might be missing information, such as that the person who beat up a cop also had their license suspended.
