How close to you are the weight on your driver's license?
Did you deliberately make up a number or did your weight change?

I'm getting closer, only 7 more pounds to go. When I renewed last time, they asked, "Is this your correct weight?" and I just nodded rather than admit how much I had gained.

1. Weight? Driver's License?
Edited on Thu Jul-06-06 09:01 PM by GOPisEvil
Our licenses don't show weight. :whew:

Edit - I did have to list a weight for a professional license, and I put my current weight give or take a few pounds.

7. Had me going..
.. Texas doesn't include weight on the DL. Type of license (motorcycle, glasses required, etc) date of birth, height, gender (incorrectly as "sex") and eye color.

12. In honor of that

For most, it goes in the opposite direction.

31. What state are you moving to?
As I see from this thread, not all states require the weight. That would be a disappointment if your new state does not require it.

23. Woo Hoo, MissMillie!
:toast:

How long are licenses issued for in the US - or is done state by state?

Here, in my province, anytime I move I have to get a new license (photo, card, wallet is $20 lighter). So, if I move 2x this year, as I'm planning, it's an extra 40 frickin dollars.

Anti terrorism measures and all on our licenses. :eyes:

(they're good for 5 years - without moving, btw)

20. 10 over.
My weight used to be about SEVENTY over (had my high school weight on there, then gained the freshman fifteen every year of college).

But just recently I lost 40 and had them raise it 30. It was right for about a month before I regained 10 pounds, haha.

24. Not even close.
I'm probably 80 lbs more. They've just never asked every time I've renewed my license.
And I wasn't about to volunteer it. LOL.

30. i think the weight on it might still be the weight from when I was 16
my state doesn't print it on the card. I'd say I'm a good 15 pounds heavier now.

35. BWHAAAAAAAA!
My weight on my license is from about 25 year's ago.

I don't think I'll ever see that weight again until I'm in the coffin rotting away.

39. It's a made up number. But only because we I got my license I didn't
own a scale. So I honestly had no idea what I weighed.

40. There's no weight on a New Jersey driver's license...
but I was 5'8" when I got my license at age 17. 8 years later, I've sprung up 2 inches, and only after I renewed my license back in December did I overhear somebody say that you can have your height changed on your license if you grew any taller. Oh well, I'm officially 5'8" until December 2010.

42. Within about 20 pounds
my weight varies.

May I just humbly ask.... what is this obsession with weight? Who the hell cares as long as you are healthy?

And prolesunited... go sit in a corner until you wise up! 7 pounds? Pshaw!



Khash.

43. Women are never over 200 pounds.
Years ago, I worked at a Driver Exam Station. I don't remember a single woman that came in to get a DL who weighed over 200 pounds. It was kind of a joke to everyone that worked there.

44. I weigh what it says I do.
Maybe a pound or two less, I think I've lost a little since I got my DL.
