Renewal question regarding photo

My drivers license photo is over 10 years old, and my instructor told me that DPS won't use the ones on file if they are that old...that I have to submit a new photo. Is this indeed the case? The checklist says they will try to use my existing passport photo...should I just go ahead and include some new pics? Like a fool, I kept putting off the renewal class and my license expires tomorrow. I took the class yesterday and am mailing the documents tomorrow (if no pics are needed) or Monday (if pics are needed).

No clue. For my renewal last year, they decided to re-use my previous CHL photo instead of my more recent DL photo.

Just curious; will fingerprints need to be scanned next CHL renewal ? My prints were inked, but I work a job in healthcare where my prints were scanned by DPS before I was hired.

If the ink prints were good, you don't need fresh prints for renewals anymore.

Same here, but I called them out on it and they re-manufactured mine with a recent DL photo update (that I had requested on my checklist and they ignored that too).
