Its nice they doing the online stuff, makes it so easier. Privacy is shot and gone, might as well do it this way. The frustrating part here in California is everything is geared to old ways with government so they struggle but they are trying to get caught up to modern world. Hell, I am worse than DMV when it comes to modern world. I am 49 now last picture on my ID was when I was 23, such a handsome lad. They like we need you to come in. Do I have to, MOOOOOOOOOOOOM. It was not bad, just enter your stuff online and the main thing is they want a current picture. They said I looked crooked, I am like what you talking about? I am standing Marine Corps style all straight and proper. Your head is off, dammit forgot about that. I have a bent back and almost did not get in Marines for that, I guess at 49 its has gotten worse but its not that disease, its just I am not as strong as most men, so II use my back. They lady felt bad because they kind of laughed and thats fine, those guys deal with a lot of BS, I can only be taken for a fool for so long. Marines do jokes like that all the time. No point, just slow down for one second miss lady, in a job like that, not a thing you want to come off as you might be disrespecting someone even though its just all good fun.. I could not work there. Marines have more freedom than that job because they can poke fun at each other. True Story

I got my license renewed back in March, but we have to go in for paperwork. They give you a tablet so it didn’t take long. My picture looked like a legitimate mugshot.

I renewed my license last year but had to go in for a vision test. They took a new photo but had to take it twice. I forgot that I hold my head crooked normally and the photographer didn't like that and told me to straighten up.

I probably do that to, but it was funny if my head is straight, why are you telling me to tilt it to the side.? I am sure they see it in camera and just trying to get best shot, but she goes hold your head straight and then no tilt it.

@DaddyEvil Maybe you have a bent back too, its actually not uncommon, especially as you get older.

@crossbones27 Pretty always tells me to straighten my head and then says to tilt it one direction or the other.... I agree, once I see the picture(s) she takes, that my head is tilted but everything looks straight to me at the time.
