Lik I said, bring more paperwork than you need and photocopy it all. CESCO in San Juan only kept the photocopies I gave them, provided they would verify the originals as well.Robert Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349139407530232226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201778738606227644.post-36718249917553982572007-12-18T08:39:00.000-05:002007-12-18T08:39:00.000-05:00Jeff and Katrina,I'm sorry you have to go through ...Jeff and Katrina,<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you have to go through all this. Things have not changed a bit since I left the island in '89 so a trip back to the '80s is unbelievable. I can only guess a couple of things for all this non-sense. When people marry in PR, the women typically don't change last names. They are not used to seeing married couples with the same last name and the wife having a different name in her documents prior to marriage. Another thing is that people have two last names (family name). First is the father's last name and then the mother's maiden name. This is old Spanish tradition. I've been trying to drop my second last name since I moved to mainland and it still comes up. I had a hyphenated last name for a while. They told me I should request a change to my SS and passport to officially drop it.<BR/><BR/>As for you having to take a written test and driving test that's absolutely crazy. The problem is that the government in the island is the biggest employer and they have created a bureaucracy that is hard to swallow or even get rid of.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure my father would be glad to help you when you need to go and take the test. <BR/><BR/>H Jr.<BR/><BR/>PS I can assure you that this process doesn't make people in PR better drivers! ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
