So how do you compare to the weight on your drivers license?

It probably been about 20 years since I originally applied, and I know there is sometimes a bit of fudging on the weight ~ maybe 5-ish pounds. And only my address was updated when we moved 10 yrs. ago. But the weight was creeping on...

Finally today I remembered to check my drivers license and amazingly enough, today I actually weigh the same as on my license!

When I get to my goal weight I'm going to get that updated :)

    I always lied, drastically.

    Age 16 my license said 160 or 165 lb...I weighed 220 or so.

    Age 21 it said 190 and I weighed 230-ish.

    Age 30 it said 220 and I weighed around 300.

    Now I'm 37 and my current license was accurate last winter...190 lb...now I'm at 177.

    In before the dozens of people saying "WHERE DO YOU LIVE!?! We don't have that on our licenses HERE!!!! OMG!!!" (happens every time...haha)

    My state (FL) doesn't include weight on your license. I have a noticeably chubbier face in the photo though. I updated my license through the mail this year, but they kept the old photo. It will be a few years before I need to do it again.

    My driver's licence says 120, which I was probably lying about. I was most likely closer to 125 or 130. I'm now 108-ish. My face is a LOT leaner now than in the pic, and my hair about 6 inches longer. :)

    You don't have address on your state license but you've got weight ?!! Hilarious! So if you get pulled over, the cop will not ask about your current address but will ask if the weight info is correct on your license!!!! hahahaha

    Wisconsin has the weight on theirs.

    I now weigh less then my license says. I like to put my college id and my DL side by side because the difference is huge! :)

    My weight doesn't show on mine so I never bothered to change it so it still says the weight I was when I was 17 lol. I am nowhere near that. I also didn't change my photo last year, just renewed it by mail. Looking at my pic I look very different now. I'm looking forward to the next time I need a new pic :) Should be at my goal weight by then. Either way, I will be getting a new pic lol.

    I've never had a license for a state that includes weight (NJ, NY, FL). I did recently learn that I was half an inch taller than I previously thought (5'2.75"), so when I renewed my Florida drivers license last week, I rounded my height up to 5'3".

    English! Yay! The respondent read your post as "Were do you live, we don't have that on our DL here" as in we don't have where we live on our DL.

    Cali requires it and I have always been relatively honest, but I am not paying to update it just cause I got fat.

    I was actually accurate on mine, but I was 20 pounds lighter. And I don't really care. I'm happy where I am now and I looked good then too.

    I'm 10ish Lbs lighter now. At my heaviest I was 20 Lbs heavier. It was an accurate weight when my license was issued. I have to renew every 8 years.

    My weight is currently listed as five pounds lighter on my drivers license than I am, but I just renewed it a couple of weeks ago. I actually lost 40 some pounds between my last license and my new license I just got. On my old one, I had said 190 when I really weighed probably about 220 or so.

    CA drivers license has DOB, height, weight, eye and hair color, if corrective lenses are needed, address, and date that the DL was issued. My present wt is 4 lbs less of what is in the DL so it shows a slighter fuller face. No worries.

    Hmm, I didn't think it was listed on my DL, but there it is--125#. Ha, I haven't weighed that since high school (CW-146/147). Probably what I put down when I first got it, and never updated it. Not changing it until it's time to renew it to whatever is my current then. I do hope it's more than 125lbs, since I really don't care to be that thin again (I've got hips and bewbs now, lol late bloomer).

    I think mine says 200lbs..and has...for basically forever. Even though I'm pretty sure when I got it replaced the last time I updated that, I was like 190..currently...I'm a lot more than that. Buuut. I don't care.

    It has the weight that I was at 18 when I got it...which, as of right now, is three tenths of a pound above my current weight :happy: Now to decide what I want to put on there when I renew in September!

    Mine says 195. I was actually about 210 when I got it, but I lied. Now I'm at about 175ish. When I got my license renewed last year, I changed the weight on the form (and was super proud to do so!) and the DMV lady didn't even care. Just said "Alright great all the important info is the same." :mad: :mad:

    When I moved from NY to CA, I was amazed and appalled at having to have my weight on my license. But hey, since you don't step on a scale .... I think I picked 180 and was at least 40-50 lbs over that. When I was making arrangements to buy my home here in NC, they needed me to fax a copy of my license. I asked if I could black out the weight, esp since it wasn't accurate. They laughed and were fine with that.

    Glad I picked a state where that's not on the license. :glasses:

    I weigh less than my license says and I'm thinking about retaking the photo seeing as it was 90 lbs ago... I sometimes get a little grief when I get carded.

    Very different. The driver's licence weighs less than an ounce.
