Dept Of Poopy Heads

So I receive a Happy Birthday letter from the Washington Department of Licensing reminding me that I need to renew. They also provided an authorization number informing me I can renew online at dol.wa.gov and pay via credit card.
Schweet. Or so I think to myself.
The website states:
You may be eligible to renew online if:
- Your last renewal was done in person
- You were issued a license on or after September 1, 2001
- You have received a renewal notice in the mail, with an
online authorization number- You have a valid MasterCard or Visa to pay the fee
After supplying the last 5 digits of my SSN#, my drivers license # and the authorization number, I’m presented with a series of yes/no questions and finally when clicking submit again I’m told that I’m going to have to come in. No other explanation, I’ve already been pre-screened simply by having recieved this letter.
Is it a browser issue, there were no errors but I am using Firefox and they are an MS .Net shop.
I hate the DOL.
