    My last one wasn't too horrible especially considering I had to stand in line for a couple hours toting 2 infants and a toddler and it was lunch time...

  6. autie (anonymous) says…

    It was terrible. They made me take off my insectoid sunglasses.

  8. charliejohnson (anonymous) says…

    uh uh NO. Makes me look old. Scary, it's almost like looking like my mother.

    Mine is OK. I think they ought to take one with us swearing, as that is the face an officer would see if they pulled us over.

    If you don't like your picture, get a new face.

  11. Gootsie (anonymous) says…

    Uh oh. Someone had to take off their Groucho Marx nose/glasses before theirs was taken....

    I was always told that the photo that was taken for your license would be used no matter how bad it was. But in 1996 when I renewed my license the first one was so bad the woman at the DMV who was behind the camera insisted on taking another one. It must have been REALLY bad!
