I Hate the DMV.

Please don't take this the wrong way. This is for anyone that deals with these folks.

You should look at the paperwork before ever stepping away from the counter. Verify your name, address, vin, plate on your paperwork. Have your vin written down so it's handy if you can't remember the numbers. I've seen recently, the DMV here puts printed paper in front of you to verify things before moving on, unfortunately it's usually to verify your address.

As you found, it's very easy for someone to read a B as an 8 or vice versa.

I write my 8's like a snowman, two o's stacked. Had the dmv person put the number in as a zero.... WTF... Don't ask me how, she did it.

Hope you get it squared away.
