Changing your name/gender/photo on your drivers licence:
Begin by filling in a form so complex and unintuitive that the adeptus administratum would consider it “cruel”
Pay a fee for a new photo
You can only pay for the application with two antiquated forms of payment, cheque or postal order. Cheques are in museums so postal order is your only option. These are issued at a post office, hope yours hasn’t been closed. Locate post office, try to pay, can only be paid for in cash. Another relic…
Find a cash machine. Withdraw the fee. Discover postal orders are charged for. Ask for it to be posted. Pay another fee as the employee informs you that unless you pay for special delivery they cannot guarantee one of their low paid post gremlins will not either steal your identity or just throw your application into the nearest bin.
@Pipponprops Been looking into this for next month and been oofing a bit about all of this, haha.
Guess I'm gonna spend a few hours in a post office, lol
@Pipponprops Gonna need to get both of them done at the same time due to work. Were you able to do an unenrolled deed poll?
@renbymon I had deedpolls made up by the uk deedpoll service. Worked for everything so far
@renbymon it is a highly unpleasant and generally degrading experience. My own post office is manned by geriatrics so I received the standard slew of intentional misgendering to boot.
Passport is only marginally easier.
