This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The listed height on my driver's license (and probably passport?).

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There's a height on your driving license?

I've never seen one on a passport.

[–] Cenotaph@mander.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah but at least where I am its self reported lol

Yes. Also eye color is listed (despite there being a photo, making it seem kinda unnecessary). Also technically self-reported. So my legal eye color might be different than my actual eye color.

I don't check my passport often, so I just assumed it would have that same kind of info.

You can also change your reporting of eye color too. (possibly even height) I know I did when they darkened

lol where do you live that this is the case?

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Texas. TBF, its not like my eye color is actually totally different from my listed color.

That's so weird, we only have a name, date & place of birth, place of residence, black & white photograph and signature.

You list your weight and hair color in California, both which aren't really concrete values.

Here's a list of all state licenses https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://www.businessinsider.com/what-drivers-license-looks-like-in-every-state

WEIGHT?? what's next? penis length? how is any of this relevant to a driving license lol

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Isn't 4(c) supposed to be the issuing authority instead of your residence? Or is it a Belgian thing because your government is confusingly complex?

All the licences I've had in Europe were always just listing the issuing authority of the country in question. It would have been a bit painful to get a new licence every time I moved.

no you're right, but ig it's often near where you live
