Receptionist told me I didn't have documentation, though I had a valid Bama license. Said I needed a birth certificate. Told her I gave one to MHP when I was 15 when I got my license 50 years ago. So went out to a place they called state records dept. and got a copy of proof of birth; meanwhile complained to MHP and lady said a passport will do. Too late, spent money and time on this snipe hunt. (Alabama was a snap, none of this junk, just show us a valid license, insurance and proof of i.d. Reading the above stories, amazing this sorry situation persists. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-74784201076914501792018-11-30T19:09:49.881-06:002018-11-30T19:09:49.881-06:003:54, no I was a shocked ex-pat of MS.

(Call ahead because Walnut Grove is only open a couple of days per week.) My husband and I recently went to get ours renewed because his was about to expire. The line at the door at Pearl was already hours long at 7:30 a.m. We drove to WG, not thinking to call ahead, and it was closed. Determined to get it done, we drove to Philadelphia. There was no line there and the workers were extremely cordial. I think we did all that and got back home before we would have finished at Pearl.

Was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Nice, friendly service. No problems. Left there and went to tax collectors office (downtown Jackson), changed tag to MS tag - in less than 15 minutes. <br /><br />Lesson to be learned is to think about the time of day one goes and the day of the week/month on tries to deal with these issues.

Who knew that a 36" waterline would rupture in a bend and require replacement bends and valves that would not be on the shelf available on a moment's notice. If this is all one has to bitch about, let me give you some real problems to worry about like losing the Egg Bowl or losing to A&M (that one's for you KF), or having to have another season with a crappy coach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-42503364915008015902018-11-30T14:15:26.923-06:002018-11-30T14:15:26.923-06:00A couple of months ago the renewal at Jackson loca...A couple of months ago the renewal at Jackson location was very fast (even though packed) and pleasant.

Those two ladies that work in there are angels and make it a halfway enjoyable experience. As for me and my family, we will be doing all of our DMV business in Kosciusko from now on! It can be a little tricky finding the office.
