“Woman is told she is ‘dead’”
A woman was told by officials she couldn’t renew her driver’s licence because records said she was dead.
Nicole Paulino, of Maryland, said she was left “frightened and surprised” when a text from the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration informed her she was officially dead.
“I got a little frightened, I’m not gonna lie, and surprised, because I am alive. I’m here,” she said.
Officials said the US Internal Revenue Service described her as a “deceased taxpayer”.
“This really, really messes up my life,” Paulino said, before breaking down in tears.
She then received a call from Social Security officials, who told her the mistake was the result of a typo.
