Turns out that for someone with my combination of legal statuses, it’s possible to end up in a loop that looks something like:

1. I try to change the name on my bank account
2. They ask for a new state ID
3. The new state ID people ask for a new social security card
4. The social security card people ask for a new passport
5. The new passport people ask for an educational transcript or a bank bill
6. Because I’m a UW employee as well as a student… the educational transcript people ask for an updated bank account
7. GOTO 1

This is not surprising, but it is deeply, deeply annoying. Sigh.
