Not renewed but replaced it. Did they allow you to retake your picture or do they just use the photo they have on file? I got my new license but I don't
like the photo and would rather pay to have it retaken. Yes I know it's silly but so be it.. I would rather tell them it's lost. But I heard they
sometimes will use the photo on file if they have it on file?
Has anyone replaced their driver's license?

Every time I've gotten a new one because I lost it (totaling probably a dozen times) they use the same photo. They don't change the photo until
it's time to renew it.

When I replaced mine I had to re-take the picture.

They asked me if I wanted a new picture taken or if I wanted to use the old one.

I swear there are always a thousand different answers to this question lol. My friends and I have had this discussion before...I think it honestly just depends
on what dmv you go to and such.

I'm sure it varies by state but when I replaced a license, I needed to take a new picture.

I think every state is different. They retake the picture here every time. If it's a replacement ours says "Amended" on it. Like mine.. since I
renewed it in '07 and then got married in '08, when I updated my name the new one said "amended" on it. They do the same thing if you lose it
or change your address.

They just used the one on file. I thought I'd have to take a new picture so I got my hair all nice and pretty and I didn't even have to take a picture.
I was upset because I actually spent time on myself for once.

I had to take a new picture. They didn't give me a choice.

When my wallet was stolen and I had to get a new one they gave me the option of keeping the old one or taking a new one. I took a new one and it's the best
picture of me ever! That was in CA 2 years ago... if that makes a difference.
