Long story, but my birth certificate doesn't match the name I've used my entire life (including SS card mom got when I was very young). An affidavit has been sufficient for any situation the mismatch was an issue. No more. I know I must deal with it to ensure right to vote, but it is a giant pain in the ass that will require not just the court filing fees, but a day of lost income for me as a solo dog walking business.

This shit must stop.
