Is your weight accurate on your driver's license?

It's not that I lied about my weight but here in Arizona, they give driver's licenses that are good for 30 years!!! My weight has fluctuated so much over the years! Right now, it is very inaccurate on my driver's license but my license is also 6 years old!

How about you...?

Your license is good for 30 years??? That's a long time for information to remain accurate! Does it have a photo?
We also don't have weight on our licenses in Massachusetts.

NO way! Sigh. I live in the wrong state.

I got my license in 2002 and it expires in 2029... I'm not kidding. Yep, it has a photo and I don't look like the photo anymore either.

I knew that the poll would need more options but now I can't edit it.

NOPE!!! Not even close. I thought I made it a weight that was reasonable at the time, but now it is about 15 lbs. off. (I weigh 15 lbs. more.) I hope by the time I renew next year, I will be lower! I never expected to weigh as much as I do. Sigh...........

HELL NO! My wieght is listed at about 60 lbs less than I weighed when I wrote it down. And I gave the clerk a look that dared him to say a word. I would have chewed his head up and spit it on his feet. LOL don't ask my my weight. I think the number on the scale is affected by the brand of scale and how skinny the person who put it together is (usually Asian women in a factory so probably pretty tiny) so no scale works quite right. It's a conspiracy and I for one refuse to participate in it. I think we should write down what we want.

About 20 yrs ago my sister weighed 98 lbs. She gained a bit of weight after high school and got pulled over wearing a bathing suit. The cop looked at her and said "you don't weigh 98 lbs you better get that changed" if it was anyone but a cop he would be dead. LOL how dare he???

Nope, I actually weigh less that what my driver's license says. Although when I put it down, I weighed more.

I was 8 months preggo when my license had to be renewed last. So, I have my pregnancy weight and my fat ol' preggo face LOL It's kind of nice because people just think you have lost a lot of weight (not had a baby) so they are impressed with how I look now when I am ID'd tee hee

No weight on AR license either. The license are done for 4 yrs at a time. I don't understand having such a long date on license. The picture would change drastically even in 5 yrs.

We don't have weight in PA, but we did in MN (which renewed every four years). I gained maybe 20 lbs and was told when pulled over once there is a fine for being more than 15lbs off, that you need to get it changed. I was never so happy as the day we moved to PA (me, 8 mos preggo) and didn't have to list a weight.

I got my GA license back in 1996 after we moved down here from NJ...I just renewed it and in GA you are allowed to keep the same license...Back then my weight was only 120 lbs...Now it's probably a bit over 160 lbs...And it's good until 2018! No telling how much my weight will be by then! I really like my picture on there...way better than I look now! I think I'll keep it for the rest of my life...Hee hee... ~Lisa

Mine is only about 5 lbs off. I have gained a little since I last renewed.

Mine still has the picture I took 10 years ago. I do not know when you are required to take a new picture. I took it just after I got married.

I was 8 months pregnant when I renewed my license as well, and I had just been to a doctor's appointment so I automatically wrote down what my weight was that day. Well, a year later and I'm 40 pounds less because I had a baby 2 weeks after getting my driver's license renewed and I lost the rest of the baby fat plus more. I'm tempted to pay the extra $30 or whatever it is to get a new license that lists my correct weight and so my picture actually looks like me, not like a grumpy, water-retaining moonface!

We don't have weight on ours, only sex, height & eye color. It's good for 4-yrs. I don't have to renew mine for almost 2 more years, but I think I weigh the same as I did when I got it. (Maybe even a little less.) Several years ago our SS# was also our DL#, I was thrilled when they changed that.

Naw. it's off by about 20 lbs. On the light side.
And if I remember correctly our licenses in Arizona are good until our 60th birthday.

As an aside, I used to work in a business where I got to see a lot id's. The clerks would always make a game of comparing the photo and info with the person standing in front of us.
It seemed as if the women were usually less than honest about their weight and the men about their height. Sometimes by quite a bit.

Each time I've gone to get my license renewed here in IL they never have asked my weight. My weight that is on my license is still from when I was a junior in high school and got my license for the first time, lol. I just smile for the camera to look pretty and I'm still a slim 126lbs from high school (on my license) and in real life weigh about 145 now. If they don't ask, I'm not going to volunteer .

I'm amazed at how long licenses are good for in other states. In IL I think it's every four years you have to get a new one.

I was curious and checked mine (it has been a while since it was issued). We don't have weight on our driver's license!

So what was he saying, it's illegal to gain or lose more than 15 lbs in MN? And what about pregnancy? I gained 50 lbs with my 1st and lost almost 25 of it in the hospital when she was born. I would have had to change my license 5 times in that 9 month period if I lived there, I guess! Sounds like a money maker for the state to me! (I'm assuming there's a fee to change it) Thank goodness I don't live there! My weight fluctuates so much I'd have to get a new license every 6 months, LOL!
