Renewing...?

Ok, so I'm set to renew my CHL pretty soon and I couldn't find an answer on this previously posted. First time to renew, so I have a question, do they require new pictures with each renewal? Because my first one looks like a serial killer mug shot, kind of ironic. Which makes me wonder about a contest as to who has the worst CHL picture....

New pictures, and new prints.

Every CHL I've seen looks like a Felon ID card.

new prints? What does DPS belive happens to your prints? They don't age do they?

It proves that you are who you say you are to them when renewing.
Additionally, the Instructor will usually check your current CHL and your DL and the Finger Printer will sign one of your photos.

This is to ensure that someone does not attempt/successfully obtain a CHL by way of fake identity.

The fingerprinter should be signing both photos, now.

Renewals only require one fingerprint card and it's for the FBI check. The feds won't do a background check without one.
