I had to go renew mu license today, so I get there and the chick tells me to stand in front of the blue thing then like 4 seconds later tells me to go sit down, it'll be ready in a few minutes. She never gave me a warning that she was taking the pic, I look like a complete douchebag in it because I was just kinda spacing out waiting for her to ask me if I was ready. Worst part is that its not up for renewal again until 2012, so I'm going to have to "lose" it sometime in the next couple of years to get another one.

Also part of my License bureau trip was legalizing the Fusion. Turns out I never paid my 2005 personal property tax (ono the Saturn, this year I pay on the Solara) so I couldn't get plates. A trip to the bank then a trip to the county courthouse later I had that paid (with $30 in penalties) and it was back to the LB where I got my plates and went merrily on my way.

They keep the digital picture on file, so when you "lose it" they'll just send you a newer license with the same photo.

I'm not too thrilled about my picture for my current license, and I'm stuck with it until 2011... and I've already had it for several years now! :AH-HA_wink: But then again, how often do you look at your license?

When I had my picture taken, the woman showed me what it looked like and asked if I wanted it retaken. Florida rules.

Same in Cali... at least at the 3 DMVs i have been to where they have taken my pictures.

Yeah, dopey me let my license expire on my birthday this year... April 2. Didn't realize it until I had to make a copy of it for my new employer. So, I applied online, and got an invitation in the mail to go and have my picture taken for a new license.

So, I went and sat in front of the camera. In the first one, my eyes were a little bit sideways, so the lady took a second one. In the second one, I looked like a Special Olympics contestant. So now I have a driver's license photo with sideways eyes, ehh.

I was glad to get rid of the old photo, in which I looked like a clown about to cry.

I wound up being deployed when my license expired so after I got back I had my wife take me down to the DMV and took copies of my orders so there wouldn't be any trouble. That's when I found out that all military (active, reserves, and guard) can get their license with a 'military' expiration date in Washington State. Now, I don't have to renew until 6 months after I leave the service. And since I am civil service and will retire when I reach 55, that's 17 years from now.
