    I have my true height and weight on my DL. If my body ever turns up in a ditch somewhere, I want to be accurately identified, TYVM.

    The last time I renewed it, it was accurate to my weight then. Now, I'm 22 lbs. lighter. :)

    The great state of NJ doesn't require weight on a drivers license. Smart! :D

    Almost right on! It says 150 and I'm 149. I actually had to get a new license last year because my picture was me at 260 lbs. None of the bouncers at any bars believed it was me and it kept causing me trouble. I think I was about 160 lbs when I got the license...so I lied a bit, I thought 150 would be a good number to put on there :)

    In Canada it's rude to ask someone's weight, so we only have height on ours! LOL

    We have it here in Alberta. So sadly it's not rude everywhere here =(

    I weigh 4 pounds less than my drivers license, (eeek!), but when I got it done last year I was about 10 pounds heavier. At my highest weight I was about 26 pounds more than what it said. I'm going to get it renewed sometime soon, and if I can drop anywhere between 5-10 pounds I'll lie again. It's not like I wont make it down there....

    Mine doesn't have a weight on it (for Florida), but I was 17 when I got my picture taken for it (24 now). Back then I was 115lbs, so it would be off by 50lbs! While 115 is not my goal, I would definitely like to be about 40lbs less.

    I changed my picture and weight in Oct 2010. I was 86 kilos, so about 190 pounds, and I am now down to about 62 kilos, so 135-138 pounds. My previous license weight was 56 kilos (give or take a kilo).
  • My DL weight says 190. At the time I was 199.
    So... now I'm 127.
    Guess I should eventually get that changed.

    I lied by 20lbs when I got it. I am now about 15lbs off. It's my goal weight.

    My Kentucky license does not list my weight, but I use it to show people my "before" pic. My face is completely changed! I can't wait until it expires next month so I can get a new "updated" pic! :love:

    Is my state (PA) the only weird one that doesn't have weight on there? haha
    TX doesn't have it on there either....

    Initially, my driver's license was off by about 50lbs. I lied, saying I was 270, when I was really 320. But, I recently renewed it and am happy to say that I felt pretty good putting down my current weight of 230. No lying this time!
    Though, I'm kind of jealous of those of you who live in states/countries where you aren't required to put your weight on your license. Darn Indiana. :)

    I lost my DL in my last move, but my military ID says 105. It is pretty funny because the last picture renew was taken when I was 8 months pregnant, but I refused to change my weight. So its like a big fat swollen pregnancy pic... and I currently weigh 128-ish. So, I am off by.... 23 pounds! ha

    I will say, I don't want to be 105 again. 115 would be more ideal.

    No... MA doesn't list a weight either!! Never realized this! But I'm glad I checked this post because I also didn't realize when my licence expires! eeps!

    My license says 110, and I'm currently about 115 (110 is my comfortable weight though, and I'm looking to get back to that)

    We don't have that on our DL here in PA. But if we did, I would have given a weight about 200 pounds more than what I am so when stopped for speeding it would go like this:

    Cop: What are you in such a hurry for?
    Me: To get to the gym. See how much weight I've lost?? <big smile>

    Yeah he'd let me go....:laugh:
  • Mine was originally 80 or so lbs less than my actual weight ... now, it's about 20 lbs more than my current weight! LOL!!!

    My license doesn't say my weight! But my face is alot thinner than what the picture shows, that's for sure.

    mine was accurate when it renewed the first two times. Last time it renewed it was 10lb off, when I started here it was 30lb off, now it's about 10lb over where I am. See my sig, it was a mini-goal for it to be accurate. LOL!

    I have a similar goal on my profile. Even when I got it at 16 I was never that weight!!! Usually waaaayyyy over...but I am getting closer...again! This time hoping to stay that way longer than a year and a half!!
