Trenchport D.M.V

The Trenchport Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is a bureaucratic labyrinth where inefficiency and corruption go hand in hand. What should be a simple process of issuing licenses and registering vehicles is instead an exercise in frustration, where nothing moves without the right bribe or connection.

​

Clerks, entrenched in their positions for decades, hold the real power. Routine paperwork is "lost" for those who refuse to pay under-the-table fees, while individuals with the right influence can obtain fraudulent documentation with ease. Black-market licenses and forged vehicle records are an open secret, facilitated by a network of corrupt employees who operate with impunity.

​

The DMV is a shadowy entity that ensures the department’s inefficiency masks its true purpose: controlling the city’s transportation networks. Special permits for unregistered vehicles, often used for smuggling or other illicit operations, flow through the office to the highest bidder.

​

The DMV is more than a bureaucratic nightmare; it is a toll gate where every form, signature, and approval comes at a price. Those who cannot pay wait indefinitely, while those with deep pockets drive away with their secrets well hidden.
