That's sounds abusive to me

That sounds ridiculous. I got mine without paying anything. I got a friend who spoke Creole to go with me to the department in charge of it, filled out a form and got it within an hour

It's some time ago you asked the question, can I ask how did the story end? I never trust lawyers

I got mine for a small fee. I had to go to the bank and pay it first. That was a little weird. I just followed the instructions i found on internet.

I ended up doing it myself in person while I was on vacation there. It took only 10 minutes and it was entirely free. Watch out for some lawyers, they are crooks and take advantage of the situation. "Never helped better than by yourself !' Very easy process.

I generally assume that the vast majority of lawyers' mummies and daddies were unmarried.
