That's absurd. I don't know if this is ultimately Al Schmidt's fault (usually Secretary of State oversees such things), but if it is, maybe we need someone new in his position.

To piggyback off you, this just happened to me. The parking permit website said I could turn in a temporary registration, which is a pink CC. Note, the actual office said I could not turn in a temporary registration. Nevertheless, I turn it in and the individual at the auto tag office made my apartment number look more like a 574 than a 524 (you can tell it's a '2' but if you want to be hold up processes, you could maintain it's a '7'), so they send me it back denied. Meanwhile, I'll probably get a ticket tomorrow, and the day after, etc. So I have to go back to the auto tag office for the THIRD TIME to have the registration REWRITTEN in 2024, so that another office will approve.

Every day I sympathize more and more with Michael Douglas from Falling Down.
