Drivers License weight

I see this posted a lot about how your current weight now matches what is on your drivers license. What horrible states make you put a weight on your license? Why would they do that?

Happy to be in NY where it's just your height.

    Louisiana is one of them. Although they dont weigh you. I guess thats why most person's isnt true. I can happily say mine has been true for a whie now. Its actually a little high on my drivers license these days!

    Ohio has it on their license. I'm a whole 50 pounds less than what I was when I got it! I suppose that's something to be happy about! :happy:

    Arkansas doesn't put your weight on your DL, just your height. Think that might have something to do with us being one of the most obese states in the nation! (Just a thought.)

    Kansas does, but I think that any state that does nobody even checks to see if what you say is right. So for years I was off by 60lbs, license said I was 220 when I was 280.

    I just got my (OH) license renewed last week and he just asked me if my height, weight or address had changed. Funny, my weight has changed a lot in the last 4 years (up and down) but the number on the license was only 3 lbs less than my actual weight.

    Ontario, Canada and they don't ask weight. That's silly since weight can change so easily along with the silly states that do or used to ask hair colour. If they are going to ask it should at least be updated every 5 years when you have to go get a new photo and license. Why would it show your age 16 weight when there is a good chance you'll be driving for another 70 years!

    Nevada is evil like that...mine hasn't changed in 5 years or so...I'm trying to get back down to the weight that's listed on my license at the very least. I'd like to drop an additional 20 lbs from that too if I can.

    Illinois does. Last time I renewed I was 15lbs above my weight, but I didn't change it... cause my goal is to get to that and 5lbs below it :)

    They still ask for the hair color here and eye color when I 1st started driving my hair color and eye color changed every month lol. Now Ive been the same hair color for about 2 years and havent done color contacts in about 10 years.

    Michigan doesnt have it. I always thought that was some archaic joke they always made in movies

    New Hampshire uses a weight-ID number.
    They never print your actual weight on the ID.... They do this as an example.

    Weight 50lbs - 150lbs Weight-ID# 1
    Weight 151lbs - 200lbs Weight ID#2
    yadda yadda...

    Minnesota.... but you can put pretty much whatever you want on there. They don't make you step on a scale or anything.
