The Associated Press reports that a Hawaii woman whose last name is 36 characters long has finally gotten the whole thing to fit on her driver's license and state identification card.


Janice “Lokelani” Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele held her old Hawaii driver’s license, which lacks the space for her full name. At 36 characters and 19 syllables, the surname was so long that she couldn’t get a license with her correct name.
