mine had my high school weight for a long time, I just never bothered to update. Then I updated to my current weight at the time, which is close to my current weight now. I would stick to your current weight, maybe a little lower 185?
nm, I just saw your post above that you don't need weight0 -
I always assume that a woman is actually 15 lbs heavier than on their license and men are 2 inches shorter than what's listed on their license lol.7

The weight on my DL is 175. Current weight is 155. Things change.0

They want current weight. Otherwise your license would say "eventual weight" on it instead of just "weight" lol
Although the people at registries always took a lot of liberties with my weight. You could tell they hated asking just as much as I hated telling.1 -

I live in Canada and they list weight as well
Same here. Always worried when I use it as ID that someone might question it, but I think it just gets ignored for the most part.
And I've not been pulled over by a cop in decades.
I actually have issues with my passport when I travel because I was 40+ Lbs heavier in my passport picture and it's very noticeable. I've never been denied, but they certainly take their time and typically ask me if I lost weight, when, and how much and dig into other details like that. On occasion I've also had to provide additional ID.
When I went to Tanzania over the holidays I had to get a visa when we landed...that took forever.
I'm also wearing glasses in my passport photo and I typically wear contacts...didn't back then. I think it expires next year, so I can finally get a new one and stop the madness at customs and TSA.1 -

I must be the only honest person... I round up/down to the nearest 5 lbs. based on my weight that morning and I always use the same height (which is rounded up to the nearest inch, though some dr. offices round down and others round up).1 -

I'm within 2 pounds of the weight on mine right now, for the first time in about 3 years. Since it renews every 4 years, there's plenty of time for some major swings either way for most people. As for height, I'm short. Lying about it won't make me any more able to reach to top cabinets

Last time I updated my weight on my license, I told the guy to put 127 (the middle of my current maintenance range).
He was like, "eh, I'm gonna put 125".
Ok! Thanks, DMV guy! 3 -

I just checked and they stopped putting it on licenses in my state at some point recently. I renewed in March and it is not listed any more. They still ask for it at renewal, but they only list height and eye color on the actual license now.
What's even more interesting is that it IS printed on my hunting & fishing licenses. When I buy those, they never ask for me to give an update, so it is about 30 lbs. higher. I'm going to go online and change it so that next time it prints with my weight as of today (so maybe 10-20 lbs. too high when I buy next year's).

No, but I have written the weight on the ticket I wrote them as what I think it really is. For example, if your DL says 180, and you look like 280, I'd enter 280 on the citation.[/b]
So for the person that weighs 245 when they get home they have a ticket and the thought they look like they are 280lbs. Double Whammy!

Eh. I put 225 on my pistol permit application, and lost probably another 25 by the time I got approved and went to get the permit. I just left it 225. Looking forward to renewing. Hopefully I won't have to jump through any extra hoops.
CT driver's licenses don't list weight, but the height on mine is 1" too tall for some reason, which is what I put when I first got it and never noticed until recently. Why do they let teenagers fill these things out?1 -

Mine renews next month, which I'm sad about because I actually have a decent picture for once
Out of curiosity and because I've been here forever, I looked back at my weight log; I was only 5 pounds heavier than listed the last time I renewed. Thought it was more.
Looks like hunting and fishing licenses in my state also include weight. Interesting.1 -

I am a lady who lied the last time I renewed. I added a few pounds to my weight because I knew I was going to bulk in a few months. 1 -

It had to be a significant difference before I bothered. If you fail to appear in court, we need an accurate physical description for the arrest warrant.3 -
I am in Australia and do not need to list height, weight or eye colour for my driver licence renewal. My licence doesn't even state whether I am male or female. Just name, address, type of licence, photo ID and that I am an organ donor.
Just looking at that photo ID though shows just how big I used to be!0 -

Mine doesn't either but they ask and it's in the record so law enforcement sees it when they run your license. But it's nice that cashiers don't see it when I buy wine.0 -
I would give your current weight or maybe 10 lbs less.
Not your goal weight.0 -
You choose, you decide what to lop off. Ours have everything. But I wonder, what do bald men say their hair color is.0

My husband has renewed his licence for many years without updating his picture or weight, and he has lost 80 lbs.
He was delayed briefly by security at the airport because he didn't resemble his picture, but they did finally allow him to board the plane.0 -

I dont think any states i n Australia require height, weight or eye colour - just a photo and name and DOB
At least Ive never seen any that require those things and I see a lot of different licences as checking photo ID is often part of my job
In SA they do require it to say if you wear glasses for driving and have your photo with your glasses on.
Not sure what happens if you wear contact lenses
