“The DMV be like you forgot to bring the Declaration of Independence”

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is known for long lines, and people are often frustrated when they finally get to the front of the line, only to be told that they have to come back with more documents. “Yo I swear dmv people love to make things up that you forgot to bring just so you have to come back 6x” was posted on Twitter by Dane on June 27, 2018.
     
“the dmv be like you forgot to bring the declaration of independence” was posted on Twitter by issac on March 20, 2019. The tweet went viral and received over 156,000 likes.
   
Some people inserted other document demands. “The dmv be like you forgot to bring The 10 Commandments please come back at a later date with all of your documents” was posted on Twitter by Glick Owens on April 2, 2019. “WHY does the DMV make things so difficult?? It’s like ‘oh whoops sorry you forgot the original copy of the constitution. Oh and looks like you forgot to bring a 12th proof of residency along with a signed copy of the Bible’” was posted on Twitter by Veronica //MANIFEST IS SAVED✈ on July 1, 2019. “the dmv be like you forgot to bring your great grandfather’s birth certificate & three copies of the Federalist Papers” was posted on Twitter by Ryan on July 16, 2019.
   
“Now I understand the whole ‘the dmv be like you forgot to bring the constitution’” was posted on Twitter by D on December 20, 2019. “The DMV be like you forgot to bring the Constitution of the United States. We need dat” was posted on Twitter by Big O Energy on June 23, 2021. “THE DMV BE LIKE U FORGOT TO BRING THE ORIGINAL COPY OF THE CONSTITUTION” was posted on Twitter by El Arroyo (as shown on the restaurant’s sign) on October 16, 2021.
