Anyone know if it's possible to get a new picture for my CHL? I'd call but I don't think DPS is open on Saturdays

Welcome to the forum.

Why do you want to do this? Unless the picture isn't you or doesn't look like you I wouldn't think that you could do it.

Maybe he started working out and is now buff and cut and wants the pic to reflect that?

It's only a head shot.

Are you renewing? If you are renewing you can change the pic when you send in your renewal CHL 100. I don't know if you can change the pic on a current license.

Just paste a new picture over the old one.


*that was a joke*...But welcome to the forum.

When I took the class and got the picture made, I had long shaggy hair but I've since changed to a much shorter crew cut and I look quite a bit different. I just wanted a more up-to-date pic

Thanks for the welcome :)

I told my instructor that my picture makes me look like a felon, but he didn't want to retake it.

Seriously, if it doesn't look like you, call the DPS on Monday and ask. If they are not concerned, then you shouldn't be.

That is such an obvious fake! Everyone knows you're not allowed to wear a hat in your picture!!!

The descriptives (height, weight, etc) all appear to be completely correct! Looks like one of those "gangsta" rats on the Kia commercials!

They might, if they have a CHL!

Pawpaw if squirrels start shooting back I am in trouble! They do enough damage without carrying a side arm!
