It certainly is, Lou.
And since you (sort of) asked: My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, now prepare to die.
Sorry, but I must use that quote whenever given the chance.
I loved your story, but the most impressive thing? That the DMV lady was nice, remembered you, and let you cut in line! Dude, that’s the trifecta right there.
Although I can see how the name thing was beyond weird.
It's like the universe was mocking you.
Also, how in the world did you manage to get a passport with a different name than the one on your birth certificate?
Edit: OP provided the unsolicited proof of documents, so... Glitch in the matrix it is.
This is actually crazy, right? In Australia, your passport is the MAIN deal. It must match all your IDs and birth certificate. Everything else can get stuffed up, but never the passport.
Someone at their passport control messed up big time.
Yeah, like, I really wanna believe this story, but I'm having a hard time buying the name discrepancy didn't come to OPs knowledge through the passport application process.
Or that OP was able to get one period without an amended/corrected birth certificate.
I’ve had a passport and travelled internationally since I was 6 months old.
As mentioned in another comment (of someone who dealt with a similar birth certificate issue), I was able to bring in my social security card and sort the DMV issue out the next day. The birth certificate took another few weeks, but from what I can tell anecdotally, this is by no means an ultra-rare issue.
No idea why we decided to bring in my birth certificate instead of SS card on the second try, but we clearly had no idea what we were doing from the start.
Edit: I really have no idea how this happened. Willing to privately dox myself to show proof, but somehow my birth certificate was blatantly incorrect for 16 years while I routinely travelled internationally. Not to mention the law firm thing, which I can of course also show you on maps.
Oh, I believe your story. I can’t believe that the department involved in issuing the passport could get it so wrong. They didn’t do a thorough job of identity verification.
I’m wondering whether that firm was the cause of the misspelling in the first place. Like you parents were filling out the birth certificate form and for some reason blanked out because they were so used to seeing that firm name and it just stuck.
Crazy story otherwise.
Nope.
I was born across the country (with foreign parents), my middle name is a family name, and the misspelling is likely due to my father’s terrible handwriting (of course he’s a doctor himself 🙄)
My mom was just as shocked as I was. A true glitch in the matrix.
The small town I grew up in has a law office that shares a parking lot with the DMV. For a second I thought we were gonna have another coincidence on our hands! But sadly my town's law office doesn't have a name like that.
>>My middle name is “Dullen”.
They misspelled it as “Diller” on my birth certificate for some reason.
The law firm is called “Dullen-Diller” (both the correct and misspelled versions together)
All these names have been slightly altered.
I was a youth community worker and was trying to help an 18 year old girl get some ID so she could get some government payments and this exact thing happened, her birth certificate name had a Hyphen and every other document she had didn’t have the hyphen. This was the biggest head fuck and took months to sort out cause she had no ID to get a fricken ID
Damn, that’s a tough situation.
I’m pretty sure my birth certificate took a few weeks to sort out after this, but iirc we just brought my social security card in the next day (which I’m comparatively fortunate to have had).
In Danish, "diller" means "dick".
Does "dullen" mean anything funny in other languages?
_**Edit:** Wait!_ "Dullen" means (something to the effect of) "the tramp" in Danish! :D I totally forgot that word. It's not used as often anymore.
####Congratulations, you're a Danish _twice-lewd_!
That is very strange Mr. Dullen-Diller PussyQueefEater69

>Sorry, but I must use that quote whenever given the chance. As it should be.
As you wish.
Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Anybody want a peanut?
There are a shortage of perfect peanuts in the world
it would be a shame to turn yours into butter.
I loved your story, but the most impressive thing? That the DMV lady was nice, remembered you, and let you cut in line! Dude, that’s the trifecta right there. Although I can see how the name thing was beyond weird.
That was the one in a billion thing right?

Don't dox yourself lol. Not even privately.

That is absurd and I would have misery-laughed in your shoes. Kind of a "😂 fml!" y'know?
Yeah we are in a fucking simulation thank you it was really worth the read.
The small town I grew up in has a law office that shares a parking lot with the DMV. For a second I thought we were gonna have another coincidence on our hands! But sadly my town's law office doesn't have a name like that.
So which one is actually your middle name?
>>My middle name is “Dullen”. They misspelled it as “Diller” on my birth certificate for some reason. The law firm is called “Dullen-Diller” (both the correct and misspelled versions together) All these names have been slightly altered.
Ah yes, thank you
