Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2004Driver's License photo
Do you think the DMV would let me get a new license if I asked? My picture looks so little like me that I am getting questions whenever I use it as an ID. And it doesn't expire until 2008! I suppose I could just pretend I lost it... Chris 262/157/ (145-150) > Do you think the DMV would let me get a new license if I asked?

Our company keeps the pictures on file and re-issues our badges with the old pictures. Some of the people have changed so much in the past few years it's hard to recognize them. Mine was taken when I was near my all time high weight (1996) and had blonde hair. Now that I'm 30 some pounds lighter and have light brown hair it's hard to tell it's me. Some day maybe they'll decide to take current pics. Beverly >> Do you think the DMV would let me get a new license if I asked?

I haven't done so because it's an inconvenient PITA to deal with the DOT. It also may have gotten me out of a ticket as the cop had to be convinced that it was really my license and he was so impressed I think it might be why he let me go :) Jenn it was only 13 over the limit :P > Do you think the DMV would let me get a new license if I asked?

In my town, it can take 2-3 hours. In a neighboring town, it can take 30 mins. Also, there is a mobile DMV mobile home that travels around town to local businesses. I had mine renewed that way last year. It was wild. > > If you want to deal with DMV Hell, you could say you lost it.

Dealing with the DMV around here is fairly painless. I only encounter problems when I wait until the last couple days of the month to renew license plates or drivers license. I've even gone a few days into the next month and hoped the SHP doesn't notice I don't have a new sticker on the auto<g> Beverly Mine expired last month and it is in my glove box.

It's usually too cold in January (my renewal month) to spend the time outdoors scrapping anything. Beverly > > Mine expired last month and it is in my glove box.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Beverly People in Texas do for sure because ours adhere by the front side to the inside of the windshield and you can't keep the old one up and put the new one above it, for example. The inspection sticker is the same way. It used to be with the university parking sticker here that you could keep the old ones and stick the new one above them. It was kind of a status thing that someone would have a whole line of them along the side of the windshield. But then the ptb decided that the keystone kampus kops (kkk) were too stupid to figure out which one was current so they made it illegal to have more than one on your vehicle.

The registration sticker used to be put on the license plate here too but they changed it in '94 because too many people had figured out how to steal someone's sticker off the license plate and restick it to their own. I never had it happen to me but knew people who got ripped off. Tonia They were easy to steal, as you just had to pull them off. I feel old remembering back to when I used to have to keep the sticker on the license plate back then... *sigh*.

I > never had it happen to me but knew people who got ripped off. > > Tonia It's odd that *I* could never pull off the old one(s) when I went to put the new one on. I just stuck it on over the old one but that's probably why it didn't come off - it wasn't stuck directly to the metal. This discussion is so far off topic now it's ridiculous. These strolls down memory lane are fun though. Tonia > They were easy to steal, as you just had to pull them off.

We put the registration on our windshield, right above the inspection sticker in Texas! We stopped putting them on the outside of our car on the license plate years ago!

To get one, you either have to call in or try online. And if you live in the county of San Francisco, fuggitaboutit. Nothing will be available, so you get an appointment in another country in the Bay Area. After trying to get online for a few days without success, I tried on the phone. After being on hold a few times for over 20 minutes, I got an appointment. Then, I waited in the appointment line and then I waited for my number to be called. It's so screwed up. I do feel sorry for the employees there; every single person needing something at the DMV is in a pissy mood. Thanks Gray Davis for screwing our state like no one before you, you lying crook.

Had I known the vast difference in DMV Torture between NJ and Maine, I would have moved here for that reason alone. I needed a license renewal the same month I reached my goal and got to choose between 2 dreadful pictures of some skinny woman ;-) Some things never change.  SignatureWalking on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude! Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 At least you got to choose. They waited until my eyes closed to take mine and wouldn't let me re-take it. I think they do that on purpose cause they hate their jobs.

I don't know the policy of your DMV. They may or may not require that you take a new picture. I would call them and ask. I am waiting to get mine redone in May. It doesn't expire until 2008 either... but I am getting PRK in May. I want that restriction off, a new picture, my new address from moving last year and my new last name. 4 birds with 1 stone!

I'm amazed...I got my new license and it's a great photo! Who knew??? : ) Martha Chris - having spent 3 hours in the DMV replacing a lost license, I would suggest that you go to the DMV web site and see if there is any place you can pose this question to them. It is so time consuming to replace a lost one, they just might reissue one with a new picture for a lot less time invested since you could present a current one. Um....I've seen your picture and it truly does not look at all like you!! Elise. > Do you think the DMV would let me get a new license if I asked?

I'm wondering something very similar..but in my case, it's my passport, not my driver's license that needs replacing. And it doesn't expire until 2011. beeswing > Chris wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > I'm wondering something very similar..but in my case, it's my passport, not my > driver's license that needs replacing. And it doesn't expire until 2011. There's an old joke about passports... if you look like your passport picture then you're too sick to travel. But I've got the same problem. I had my passport picture taken at my peak weight. I'm travelling in three weeks. I'll let you know if I have trouble! -- Dally >> I'm wondering something very similar..but in my case, it's my passport, not >>my driver's license that needs replacing.

It's probably too late for this trip (yours or mine; I'm traveling in a week), but I emailed Passport Services. They wrote back that you should renew your passport if the photo longer recognizable as you. I still have 6 years to go on my passport, but sometime after this trip and before the next one (which will be not this summer, but the following), I'll try it. I hate that I'll have to pay $55 to "renew" a perfectly valid passport, but the alternative of being stuck with that picture, taken at my top weight, until 2011 seems far worse. beeswing here in wisconsin, they let you have a new license photo, but there is a fee.
