Washington, Sept 15 (ANI): A Hawaii woman was issued a driver's license with her name misspelled, as her correct name was too long to fit on the document.
Janice "Lokelani" Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele has taken up the matter with state and local officials to ensure that her full name gets listed on her license and ID card, CBS News reported.
The 54-year-old Big Island resident wrote to the mayor and the city councilwoman for help, but the county refused to admit her complaint saying that the computer system they used wouldn't allow names longer than 35 characters, on the document.
She got the name, which has several layers of meanings, when she married her Hawaiian husband in 1992, and added that he faced similar problems when he was alive.
She was compelled to bring attention to the issue after a policeman last month gave her a hard time about her driver's license when he pulled her over for a traffic stop. (ANI)
