This is an interesting story, but I am unable to answer your question. Are you really upset about the wrong date or more upset about the incompetence of bureaucracies? (Let me guess, the Learner's Permit was issued by a woman?)
Then a week later when she gets her permanent one in the mail she gives me the old one with a stamp across it... that says it expires 10/31/2017....
Yeah, the lady didn't change the year on the stamp from 2017... I wonder how many people got in trouble for driving on a temp permit that expired before they got it?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

The digital record should be correct, well you'd hope it would be.
I feel sorry for kids today. The hoops they have to jump through are unbelievable. When I was a kid I took a three week long course in the summer and got my license (unrestricted) on my 16th birthday, that's all I had to do.

True that. I just tested three months before I turned 16 then on my 16th birthday took a driving test and got my license. With the requirements today we have to list all the time she drives and it has to be 50 hours, 10 of which are night driving, and list what we "practiced" during that time.

I think the gradual licensing laws are good. I myself had several near disasters during my first few months. Several in my class weren't as lucky. And the roads have only gotten more crowded with more drivers not paying full attention.
