Perfunctorium

Refers to any routine, bureaucratic business office that adheres rigidly to a routine, usually small and insignificant, yet believes itself to be all-important. In the 1990s in California colleges and universities, the term originally referred to academic administrative offices peroccupied with minor, routine, or insignificant details.
The campus perfunctorium requires evidence that you had a mother before it can verify you were ever born and still eligible for more inconveniences.
