I have a huge headache so if something similar has been posted, don't shoot me.
The license disc holder in my car was loose and of course, the license disc went missing. Fantastic. So I gather up all potentially needed documents and head over to the post office.
I was met with an uninterested-in-what-you-are-about-to-say face and knew that I was "gonna have a bad time"... To cut a long story short, I had to fill out the license renewal form (at this point I did not understand why a reprint can't just happen) and I lost my place in the queue. Fantastic.
I eventually get helped by uninterested-in-what-you-are-about-to-say and she tells me that I have to renew the disc to replace it, and that I need an affidavit stating how I lost the disc else she can't print me a new one. She could have stepped aside from helping the person with 387427835 packages that were getting stamped (or whatever they were doing, don't know) to tell me this so I wouldn't need to stand for 15 minutes attempting to entertain myself by reading the posters on the wall. I am also told that I have to pay for this reprint because in essence it is a renewal and they will extend the date from February to June. Though at first she did not tell me this, she just said that I am required to pay and I said "I don't understand why" and the manager was like "THAT IS WHAT THE TRANSPORT OFFICE STATES" then I get told "but your date will be extended" WELL FKING THANKS WHY NOT JUST SAY SO FROM THE START.
So off I go to the police station (and on the way there some beggar guy holds onto my car at a red robot and doesn't let go when it turns green a second later WTF?! and after he let go and I was about to turn he starts chasing me omf) and I get the affidavit. After one of the people there ask "how did you manage to lose it? Were you driving 150?" NO I was not driving 150 but thanks for attempting to make conversation, random stranger.
I head back to the post office and I am now greeted by uninterested-in-what-you-are-about-to-say but she has a smile. YAY. I get the license disc and all is well in the universe.
TL;DR : If you lose your license disc, make sure to get an affidavit saying how you lost it before you try to replace it. They will also renew the disc while replacing it so you will pay but they do extend the date so at least that's something.
