What is the name of your state? Iowa
Basicly my DL was canceled due to my social security number being wrong I was ticketed for this and need to appear in court on the 20th.
Background information and DOT dealings (sorry for long post):
Dear DOT,
While traveling out of town Sunday night (4/9/05) I was stopped by a Scott county Sheriff. He informed me that my driver’s license was canceled and issued a ticked with a court date of April 20th. He also said I should talk to the DOT to find out if there was a mistake due to it being “canceled” and not revoked or barred and if there was a mistake the Iowa DOT could contact Scott County I would not have to appear in court.
Today (4/12/05) I spoke with your office and a representative explained my license was canceled due my social security number not matching my DL# and for it to be reissued I would need to present my social security card. They also explained that a letter containing this information was mailed. I currently do not have a social security card but applied for one today and should be receiving it in the mail within two weeks.
Your type-o has currently put a hardship on my family and I would appreciate if you could assist with any of the following:
· Contact the Davenport clerk’s office and explain your mistake, so that I do not have to make a court appearance. As suggested by the Sheriff.
· See if there is anything you can do to reinstate my drivers license without a physical social security card (possible temp, or work permit)
· Fax (preferred) your records of this case to edited or mail to edited so that it arrives before April 20th
DOT reply:
Mr.
As what was told to you over the phone is correct. You will need to appear at your local drivers license station with an actual Social Security Card. We cannot issue you anything until that is done.
My reply:
Is there anything you can do to assist me with my other requests? The sheriff who issued the ticket said if this was a mistake which I assume a type-o by the DOT would be classified as, that you could contact the Clerk’s Office to resolve this. Also I am requesting your case details on this matter, a personal signed document would help me if I need to present to a judge.
DOT again:
Mr.
Unfortunately until you provide a Social Security Card we are unable to do anything further. If you have further questions you may contact us at 1-800-532-1121.
Ok so the DOT is ether unwillling or unable to help me even recieve my records to present the judge.
Do I plead guilty, because I was infact driving without a DL?
what are the peniltys for this type of violation?
Should i hire a lawyer?
Thank you in advance.
