That's what I'm sayin! It would end up changing everything on paper if it wasn't corrected I think.
Now when he applies for health insurance using this license it will be wrong name health insurance too. If he applies for a bank, wrong name. Before you know it everything will be a different spelling than it actually is. Oy vey. Government gives me a headache. We pay way too much in taxes for it to go to incompetent workers!
