Did you lie about your weight on your DL?

[HoneySpider]

I was just looking at mine and I totally fibbed by a good 10 lbs.

Or are you one of those lucky people whose state doesn't do this.

[Deleted]

My state doesn't ask for weight on the license. I actually didn't know that other states did!

[MrsMB]

Yup. I've always done it. I mean....5-10 lbs though.

[wanderingenough]

Never lived anywhere that was required. #thankful

[Deleted]

It's not required here.

[Queen Mamadala]

I fudged it by 10 lbs, I think.

[ginkgoleaf]

Well it was accurate at one point... Like 20 pounds ago.

[pooh8402]

Mine doesn't ask.

[estrellita]

I didn't at the time actually, haha. Obviously I don't weigh the same right now but even before I had gained some weight back, so it wasn't accurate. I was proud of myself for not lying though when I got it last

[MrsAggie]

My DL doesn't have my weight but I rounded down on my military ID.

[katespade]

Nope. I actually weigh less now than is listed on my DL, but they didn't ask me for a weight update when I renewed it.

[katespade]

I take that back. I just pulled out my DL to check and it's actually still accurate. I thought I remembered rounding up the last time they asked me.

When I got it at 16 I told them the truth. I don't think they have asked me since. So it's wrong by a good 15-20lbs. :/

Yes, I rounded up because when I was 16 and got my first license the lady made a dorrogitory remark about not weighing enough to drive, so I was self conscious.

Uh, what? I want to punch that lady for saying something so stupid. 

[itsme]

I didn't lie but I weigh less now than I did when I renewed it.

[bk1]

I can't remember... I think it's been the same since I got it basically. I have never been asked if it was accurate when I renewed my license. It's off by a good 25 lbs pre-pg. 

[travelbug]

At the time it was accurate. I am not sure if it is anymore... It's probably off about 10 lbs!

[grover]

Mine's currently off by about 25ish pounds. I told the truth back either at 16 or 21, but the last time I renewed it they didn't ask for an updated weight. At either 21 or 25 (not sure which one) the DMV worker says, you look same height and weight and left them both the same. At the other renewal, the worker didn't say anything and left them both alone.

This seems like a good place to add that we are getting our new licenses tomorrow, and I plan to put my accurate pre-baby weight which I still haven't quite achieved. lol.

I don't completely understand why weight needs to be on a DL. Especially because we only have to renew ours every eight years. How accurate do they expect it to still be eight years later?

8 years?!?

Holy crap that's forever. I thought 5 years was long. Lol

[HoneySpider]

I don't think I've ever renewed a DL. I move so often I've never had one expire.

[mac08]

Thank god NY doesn't ask for it, I would be so embarrassed.

[krystee]

I lied by like 50 pounds.

[megkat]

NY for the win! No weight required

[Deleted]

NY here...I guess that's ONE good thing about NYS. LOL

I find that requiring the weight on a DL is crazy. I know lots of people who lose (or gain) weight dramatically. What are you supposed to do? Go change it all the time??
