keep it???

are you kidding? no wonder women just don't bother to change their names anymore. even if they give it back, it might look awful when they're done with it...

They don't keep it. They just take a look at it and give the original right back to you.

Bring the original. I just went to the SS office and DMV and neither of them keep it... they just look at it!

They don't keep the original at SS. They look at it and return it. Same goes for DMV.

They need the original, but they don't keep it.

Well, that's good to hear...I am not about to give DH a chance to say we're not married. In fact, I might make photocopies and frame them in each room... j/k
