84 and Counting...

Yesterday I went to get myself an Arizona State ID since my Massachusetts one, which I've been using for ID for the past 5 years, finally expired. I was incredibly excited when I first received my new card, because I noticed that it has no expiration date. Seriously. In the spot where the expiration date should be, it's just a blank space.

In my case I need to make a list - very short - of words I DO know .
:D

Haha I doubt it. Languages have tens or even hundreds of thousands of words in them...you can know thousands yourself and still feel that you know and understand nothing. I don't think I could make a list of all the words I know in Japanese, even, and I don't really know much Japanese at all. I'm sure for you a list of Spanish words you know would be impossible.

I really admire you for studying non-Indo-European Japanese !!!
It seems an isolate although , having a grammatical structure similar to Korean . You've nothing to hang on to . I really DO need to learn Thai but am daunted by its script and tones !
Latine possum dicere sed non multum .

I'm a Californian who's just as surprised to hear that the Arizona DMV is actually fast and pleasant, LOL. Kinda jealous.

Hahaaaa...yeah, my roommate is from LA and he said expirations there work similarly to in MA. Plus there are way more drivers (and people in general), so, well, I'm assuming it must be a nightmare xD;

I wound up browsing here from the tucson community. Sorry if I sound like a creeper! I do have a few awesome tips: You have to register your new address within ten days, but you don't actually have to buy a new card! And you can change the address online, so no bothering with the DMV.

The other great part is that if you choose to get a new card, they'll reuse the same photo for ten years, unless you request otherwise. It's fairly handy. The only issue is that you have to get a new photo every ten years (though that could be even less frequent than 10 years with a state ID; I've only had a driver's license here. I can't imagine it's more often).

Haha no, not particularly creepy--it's actually refreshing to get a legitimate comment on an old post instead of the ubiquitous bot spam. :)

That's actually really excellent. I guess everything's easier with electronic records and all, so the address on the actual card becomes less important.

It's also nice that they don't make you change your photo so often--I tend to have a problem where I go continually between long and short hair, so the picture I took no longer looks like me at all. xD But I guess if the period is 10 years, I'll probably go back to looking like that at some point, haha.

Thanks for the info. :)
