Blew a gasket at the DMV over a missing stamp, lost 4 hours
Last Tuesday in Reno, I needed a new title transfer for my old Tacoma. Got there at 7am, numbers already at 60. By 11 I finally get to the window. Clerk says my lien release stamp is faded, can't accept it. I said it's notarized, she didn't care. Told me I had to go back to the credit union in Sparks. The branch manager there laughed and said the stamp's fine, DMV's just being picky. He gave me a printed letter, handwritten note, even called the desk directly. Still got sent to the back of the line. Waited another 90 minutes. Finally got a supervisor who looked at the same paper and said 'okay.' What did I do different? Brought a friend who's a notary along, basically a human backup. Now I keep photocopies of everything, plus photos on my phone. Anyone else had to escalate to three people just to get a basic form approved? Or is my Reno DMV just cursed?
