Reminds me of Russells driving licence photo ...

How do these kids get away with this, don't they have a photographer taking the photo and attaching it to the card?

I worked as a policeman at a college for 31 years. They hire
students to take the pictures. I stopped Joe Cool one day.
Need I say more?

​Our driver's licence photos have strict guidelines.

I work within them :-).
Most of these photos would not qualify .
I think mine are better than most of these :-).
But, then, I would :-).

​This may suffice.

Oldest version just turned up again yesterday.
I should take a full photo of it to have with the other two.
As you may expect, all of these are really me BUT I normally look like none
of these people.

As I recall the first time you showed the driver's license photo you also had a 'proper' one of you as you normally look.

I do wonder at the 'Mohican' version ... how did you get that with not much hair on top (per the other photos)?

​Large number of "proper"​

I ​(so far) I have a reasonable amount of hair usually.

As I said " I normally look like none of these people."

For the oldest photo (top right) I grew my hair and beard for some months,
shaved my head with number 0 (1?) cutter then razor shaved it. What you
see on top is the flash catching the sub sub mm remains, alas. The beard
and sideboard were gelled and fluffed out as much as possible.

The 2005-2015 was short on top (no comb on cutter?) , beard shaved back to
a drooping moustache, and squint held unbearably long while photo was
taken. Gel fluffing as before.

2015-2025 . Grow shave gel brush up into Mohawk.

If I'm alive 8 years from now in 2025 I don't know what I'll do.
Rainbow colours maybe?
Swami beard?
...?

Ah - Sadguru. I could do that!
This was in Jogeshwari in outer Mumbai suburbs.

​It's complex :-).

Probably it's mainly for fun.
But.
We do not have a National ID card .
We are not required to compulsorily carry any form of ​documentation or
identification with us when we travel, walk, sleep, eat ... .
BUT we ARE required to carry a driver's licence at all times when we drive.

Long ago a world famous in NZ, NZ Prime Minister named (Sir) Robert Muldoon
(but known as "Piggy" to all) said that the then soon to be introduced new
driver's licence was NOT a national ID card and that it never would be. He
was, of course, very soon proved wrong. A DL is about the best form of ID
in NZ (a passport is perhaps better) and is accepted as such everywhere and
often demanded as proof of ID.

So, my having a photo on my non ID card that IS a photo of me but which
bears ~~= 0 resemblance to me at a glance (or two glances) is an act of
civil OBEDIENCE on my part. I am helping keep the late Robert Muldoon more
honest than he otherwise would be.

Good for parties :-).

Parliamentary debate along the way. Long after Muldoon.

http://www.celticnz.co.nz/transport/Hansard.htm

incl:

" ... What it does is to introduce a national ID system---a national
identification system---and removes our right as citizens of New
Zealand to travel around this country without official documentation.
The country in which I recall we saw the need for certain members of
that society to travel around with official documentation was South
Africa, with its pass laws, which we have only just seen change over
recent years.
​ ..."

FWIW :-)
