After many trips to the SAAQ to get accident reports, register our car, and apply for a new driver’s licence, it finally arrived in the mail. The accompanying letter said to review the licence carefully and check for any mistakes that might exist in the birthdate and other personal information.
It’s funny; the letter never said to check the picture. So I went down to the SAAQ this morning to let them know that I had indeed found a problem with my licence. They seemed a bit surprised, which is good; I wouldn’t want to think this happens all the time. Now everyone is up to speed and it’s time for a new picture. This is when I’m told that before they can take a new picture they’ll need to see some photo ID…
…I guess that’s because they wouldn’t want someone walking around with, say, someone else’s picture on their driver’s licence. It’s a good thing the SAAQ is there to nip these things in the bud.
