    So, I have to go get my license renewed. I have steadily been losing weight since March. I don't really want to be stuck with the weight I currently am on license for the next few years. What to do?

    So what states have weights on DL and which ones dont? I am from michigan and mine doesnt have weight on it...

    So far from the posts, I've gathered that these are the ones that don't require weight:

    North Carolina
    Pennsylvania
    Kentucky
    Iowa
    New York
    New Jersey
    Virginia
    Texas
    Florida

    and now Michigan. :)

    Massachusetts does not require weight, either.

    I am 5 lbs heavier now than my DL weight, but I think that is muscle weight as I am more muscular than when I last got my license.


    Ok I feel better that I'm not the only one who's really close. I'm roughly three pounds over.

    When I got my license, the weight I put was only 3 or 4 pounds less than what I actually was, and now I'm about 9 pounds more than what I put...yikes :noway: (my current goal is to get back down to that weight!)

    Mine used to be 30 pounds under when I weighed 190 and got my license.

    I just had it updated and I rounded it down to the nearest ten spot, being 130. It's only off by like 3 pounds so does that count as a lie?? lol

    Mine says 150lbs. :noway: I'm actually 185lbs right now. :embarassed:

    I hadn't weighed myself in school and I got my license when I was seventeen - so in my mind, I figured, eh, same weight as when I was fourteen. Wrong! I haven't bothered to change it but it's such a lie.

    I remember when I was pregnant and had to renew my license the worker guy at the dmv asked my weight, not wanting to say my pregnancy weight I and have it stuck on my license for the next 4 years I said 125 (my prepreggo weight) he looked up at me and said "you know there's no need to lie, now what's your weight" mortified I said loudly "I'm 6 months pregnant you *kitten*! I need to talk to your manager!!". I felt like crying, looking back I think it's a little funny though but that guy had some nerve.

    You have to put your weight on your driving license? Compulsory?

    It seems very silly to NOT include weight on a driver's license, as it is used for identification purposes and a small cropped photo of someone's face really fails to illustrate the entire identification - height is necessary, it only makes sense to include weight to properly illustrate someone's body type/stature. For example, it's like those Myspace angle pictures where a heavier woman takes a very misleading picture of their face, that doesn't portray their body type and their full semblance. If you are asked to identify a burglar and you have a thin man and a very heavyset man who have similar facial features, don't you think stature would assist you in the identification?

    I live in Illinois - at the time I had fibbed and said I was 10 pounds lighter, but now I actually -am- the weight on my driver's license.

    The hard question for me is always "hair color", having golden brown-auburn hair. :ohwell:

    We don't have weight on our drivers licence but my height is wrong. I am 159.5cm not 158cm.

    I was 158cm at the age of 16.

    I guess i grew a little.

    I'm getting closer! 155 is my DL weight, and I'm 167 and change right now. You better believe when I hit goal I'm trucking into the DMV for a new photo. I might even go nuts and wear makeup.

    Major NSV for me was being asked for a second form of ID at the airport since my license photo was taken 90 pounds heavier than I am now. That was a great day :love:
