Ghost driver? Woman can't believe her eyes when she sees her new driver's license photo

A woman has had her driver's license renewed. But the authorities made a serious mistake, which is why their new bill is completely useless.

• A driver's license is an identification document that must contain information about the owner.
• This also includes a photo on which the driver must be clearly recognizable.
• A woman in Tennessee was issued a completely unusable driver's license by the responsible person - she cannot be recognized in the photo.

It is legally stipulated that in addition to the information about the driver including date of birth and address, a biometric photo of the driver is also included on the driver's license *. Every now and then the license has to be renewed. It is advisable to have a new photo taken, as you have changed externally over the years.

The American Jade Dodd from Tennessee also had to renew her driver's license. But she was completely surprised by the picture on her new bill. Because she couldn't be recognized at all.

Driver's license fail: Authority transfers driver's license with a completely unusable picture

The reason why it is unrecognizable on the new driver's license is easy to explain: it is not shown at all in the photo . Instead, it shows an empty chair .

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) - the responsible registration office in Tennessee - has obviously made a mistake. As Express.de reports, Jade Dodd wanted to put things right again, but the DMV employees did not believe her at first - only when they saw the picture on the driver's license in the system with their own eyes. The DMV manager was then called in.

How this error happened is unclear - it is also very surprising that it was sent unchecked. But Dodd is calm about the matter and shared her story on Facebook. Your manager would have been particularly amused by the incident: "I was at work on Friday and he pointed to a chair in front of his office and said, 'I thought it was you,'" said Dodd. She has since received a new driver's license that shows the correct photo. (Ök) * tz.de is part of the nationwide Ippen-Digital editorial network.
