Nakia Grimes, a 37-year-old woman from Georgia, was told she had to prove she was actually a woman to get her driver’s license renewed, after discovering her birth certificate mistakenly labeled her as male.

Fox 5 Atlanta spoke with Nakia Grimes of Clayton County about her difficulty getting the typo cleared up. Grimes said she never really had occasion to look closely at her birth certificate, so she never noticed the mistake.

“You only look at the name, the date and the year,” Grimes told Fox 5. “I’ve never seen that.”

The woman working at the Georgia’s Department of Driver Services did notice and came to Grimes with an unusual request. “She said I needed to go have a PAP exam, have a doctor write a note verifying you’re a woman and bring it back notarized,” Grimes explained to Fox 5. That was something Grimes said she was unwilling to do. Instead she reached out to the station for help.

The matter was cleared up once state authorities examined the birth certificate of Grimes’ son. The document listed Grimes as the mother, which cleared up any confusion about whether or not she was really female.
