So... I moved back in August and I never changed my DL. I didn't really felt like going to the DMV office but I went with my daughter. Thinking I was going to be there all day I even packed some lunch. lol I got my binder with everything I though I would need. Walked to the closest desk as soon as I got there.
The guy at the desk asked me what I was there for and he didn't fail to tell me what kind of proof I needed for the change. Of course I was missing another proof of address!!! Great!! Now i'll have to go back home, come back and stay here forever and ever! Well, I didn't give up and looked and looked all over again thru my binder and found a receipt from a purchase at Home Depot I've made with my address and name in it!! BOOM!!! Take that desk guy!!! I took my number and after 7 minutes my number got called. I was in shock thinking I was going to be there all day. And here comes the moment of truth... Picture Time!!!
I assumed form the beginning that they were taking a new picture. So, I put some make up on (which I never do unless there's something special going on) and wore the prettiest top that I could find. The guy ask me to smile... Sure, no problem! :D Then shows me the picture and asked me if I was OK with it. REALLY??? Is that how I really look like??? Immediately I said NO and it was the loudest no I've ever heard or said in my life. Everyone started laughing and looking at me. My daughter said: Is not that bad mom! Me: REALLY? Not that bad? Even the guy next to me was cracking up! Anyways, I asked for another one... And this time I look worst than the first one.So, I gave up and I def. look like a Spanish version of Mr. Bean in my DL picture! And NO, I'm not showing you guys;) I hate DL pictures! Seriously, is that how I really look like??? lol

Here in Oregon, we only renew our drivers license, once in eight years. I won't have to renew until 2022. When it comes to the license plates on the care, we have stickeers that are put on over the previous ones, and those go for two years. I went online that the DMV websiee, and renewed thee, so I don't have to wait in line at that DMV, as the one here is so busy, that a person can be in there for hours. At least I have saved myself time by renewing online.

Is kind of the same here in FL . I could have change my address online but it will take too long in the mail. I have an appointment tomorrow that requires my current address in my DL. I didn't wait that long. I was there for about 7 minutes and was more upset about my once again hideous picture. Haha ??

Oh, I know what you mean!! Where I live at, they make you take off your classes as well because then they send then to some place and they do facial recognition stuff. It's about as bad as a mug shot!! Geesh!!
