OMG can i change my picture on my license??? please help!! thx Jonny!!!!!!
Chelsey from Escondido, CA Exclaims: My friend nd told me that the picture they took for my permit will be the same picture that they put on my driver's license!!?! Is that true? I totally didn't know they were going to take my picture and I look HORRIBLE!! HELP!!!!!!!
Chelsey, you have larger problems that your driver's license picture. For instance, your excessive use of exclamation points is somewhat disturbing. But, we are here to talk about driving, so let me address
your question.
The answer is yes, the picture the Escondido DMV took of you for your permit paperwork will be the same photo they use on your CA driver license. However, depending on the DMV and the mood of
the DMV employee assisting you, you can actually request that they retake your license photograph, free of charge. If you attempt to do this, make sure you ask them to retake the pic BEFORE you take your
DMV drive test. If they print up your DMV drive test paperwork, it may be too late for them to enter a new photo ID into the system.
Hope that helps!
Until next time Chelsey from Escondido, do your make-up, comb your hair, and go retake your driver license photo... you bright shining star you!
