Title: Legally bald
Post by: -Doug- on October 13, 2011, 11:21:18 AM
I had to renew my license today. As I was filling out the form, I paused at the box for hair color. I honestly was not sure if I should put my receding hair's color, bald, or none. When I got to the counter I asked the DMV representative and she said that that do have a hair color designation for bald. I told her to put that one on it then. I also got my picture taken. So now I am "legally bald" according to the DMV.  O0

This got me wondering, what do other have on their licenses?

You realize that you can never go back to hair now, right?   ;)

New Jersey doesn't ask for hair color on driver's licenses.

We have two driving (drivers) licences here but neither mentions hair colour or any other personal feature.

You really do feel like you're permanently locked into the look once you've had an official ID photo taken.

My British passport expires next yeah, THANKFULLY, because I look nothing like the picture. My American passport was issued 2 years ago so at least I look like the picture, but the British passport might as well belong to Julia Roberts.

No passport here, but my driver's license is up for renewal in two more years.  I can't wait to update that damn photo with a new, sly one  8)

Our licenses don't have hair color information.  The only ID I have now that has hair is my passport.

Ours don't either, but it will be listed that way in their system and the picture will be sans hair!

Until around 10 years ago, a UK drivers license didnt expire until a person was 70 years old, but thankfully until around 10 years ago, drivers licenses here didnt have a picture on them. They were just a big sheet of paper folded in four. Now that they have a picture on, I think they're valid for 10 years.

How come you dont have a passport? :o

I haven't ever needed to travel out of the U.S. save for my honeymoon. And that was before 9/11 and it was to a Caribbean island so all I needed was a copy of my birth cert.

I dont know of anyone who doesnt have a passport :) You're my first no-passport friend :D

What about wanting to travel outside the US? You may not have needed to, but would you like to?

Just curious!

I'm not opposed to outside the U.S. travel I've just never really had the opportunity/$$ to do it.

yeah I can understand that.

The UK is a very tiny country compared to the US, and I know I would literally go crazy if I couldnt travel outside of the UK at least 5 or 6 times a year. They're not always long breaks (if I'm feeling ok, I'm going to France tomorrow, just for the day, to do some food shopping), but I couldnt bear staying in one country the whole time.

But its probably different in America. Its such a large country with so many different regions and climates, etc.

My passport, license and company ID all show me with hair.  Today, a new security guard in the lobby of my office building stopped me because I didn't look like my ID badge.  Once he looked at the picture and my face, he let me pass.  I called our security department and they suggested coming down to get a new picture so it doesn't happen again.  I guess if I start with a new ID badge, I'll feel compelled to stay with the look!
