Maddening new laws when you renew your driver's license

7% sales tax???????....you could be here in the Land Beyond.......where it is...7.75%!!!!!

In the city of Denver it is over 8%. I always think I'm being over-charged until I figure in the ridiculous sales tax.

I just renewed mine a few weeks ago and had much the same experience as Phred. Took the old one in, quick eye test and new picture (the lady even took 3 pictures because she didn't like the first two - it's not bad actually - amazing). In and out with new license in 5 minutes. Good until 2011. I love the new MD license, it has a blue crab as well as the state flag as little icons

Well after almost a month (sent my first checks on Aug. 4th) I now have my new license! The dear man at City Hall suggested I send along two more checks but send them Registered Mail. He received them and remembered me and worked on my request personally. I finally had my Marriage License copy in my hands on Tuesday afternoon and renewed my license yesterday. I am good until 2010! YAY! The new license is, of course, another photo ID but also has a holographic design. Pretty cool looking.

Oh, and just a little info here for you folks in Pennsylvania. My friend at City Hall told me that Pennsylvania has adopted the *six point system* as well. He said they are going to be even more busy there at the marriage licensing bureau in the future!

Our sales tax is 8.5%...YIKES!

We can renew online too but I didn't know mine had expired until I went to get my car inspected.. Took 5 hours at DMV waiting my turn.. Everywhere you go is still crowded with Katrina folks.

Mississippi's can be done online also.
