I had my license renewed last year, and the photo is so bad (in my opinion - although cameras aren't supposed to lie!) that I hide it behind my old driver's license in my wallet! I never show the new one unless I'm at the bank or anywhere they might need to question the expiration date! {#emotions_dlg.w00t}

And I thought I was the only one. The last time my license was renewed the picture was good but the time before, scary.

No, mine doesn't. California has this thing about renewing licenses. If your record is clear for x number of years, you receive a renewal notice in the mail and don't have to take the test. I honestly believe the photo in my wallet was taken about 9 years ago and I don't look like that any longer: after retiring last year, I let my white hair grow out, so look totally different.

However, since we've moved to another state, I must get a new license. But, I won't do it until I've gone to my stylist first. LOL!

My last DL picture is actually a great picture of me, but I had ultra-short hair (think young Mia Farrow style) because I was recovering from chemotherapy. My hair is shoulder-length now.

Unfortunately, yes. I've gained a few pounds over the last few years, but am working on getting back to looking like my old driver's license picture.

mine doesn't look like me at all. my old college ID does (from 14 years ago) but I have blonde hair in my driver's license photo. a brief fling with being a seductress. :-D
