After only a few minutes on hold I was able to speak to a friendly human being and get an answer to an unusual question.

Needed a copy of my birth certificate. I was in and out in under ten minutes. Took longer to park and walk than the entire process.

I had one of those weird little problems related to a name change that there's no clear instructions for dealing with anywhere. Staff explained exactly what I needed to do and helped me through the paperwork. I'd been considering hiring a lawyer to sort it out, so they saved me hundreds!
