This was a totally real interaction. I was there to see it all myself. Some people might not believe because it sounds implausible that by chance someone that was there that day could be on Lemmy reading this exact scenario. Well rare intersections happen all the time in this crazy world we live on. And I can say with confidence I saw it all because I was the camera!
My DMV just asks the VIN of my vehicle and everything else is extracted from that. Because umm yeah of course it is. If you just renew you don’t even do that much, you just say yep I wanna renew these plates and the vehicle is the same.
Its a bit more hassle if you buy a vehicle privately and have to file the paperwork yourself but like… very mildly worse.
Ahh yes, common DMV query “Body type?”, right after “engine displacement” and just before the section on aerodynamic coefficients.
Don’t they just ask make and model and year?
