I have been to Staples and UPS/Kinkos and they both refuse to do it. Both operations told me that it was a $35,000 fine if they made color copies of a drivers license. I did get one location to make one, but they made it at 200% larger. HELP!
Send them the 200% larger copies.... Why not? Or... Resize them to whatever dimensions you like.
Easy to do with free software... I like IRFanView (simple) and Paint.Net (more features, still free).

Welcome here! :tiphat:

Let's not forget that tal made that original post back on July 08, 2012 & has only made 2 posts to the forum since being a member. ;-)

I think by now tal has solved his or her problem by now seeing how his or her question was posted in July 8 of 2012 and has not been active since a day after posting the question. Seems like tal joined just to ask that question.

I just had a similar question and figured Id post it on this thread so answers to the question would be easier to find in the future by forum users.

Confused me. I thought I was living on another planet... What's this about renewal classes and what not. :smilelol5:

My guess is there is some miss-interpreting or miss-understanding of the law for retail purposes, because I'm pretty sure somewhere in the penal code it's illegal to make fake drivers licences, aka physical copies - not photocopies. I don't have any specific penal law memorized, just a layman's guess.

It is not against Texas law to make copies of your driver license. Kinkos and the like refuse to copy actual size and expand it greatly-for fraud prevention purposes, but they usually will point you to a machine that you can do the photocopy yourself.
