Is it possible to get two copies of your drivers license?

Texas law only allows you to have one. Not sure of other states.

I got in an argument at the rodeo one trying to buy beer because this old fucker could count. He thought I was trying to trick him. I really thought he was screwing with me at first.

Last time I renewed my license, the letter that came with it explicitly said to destroy your old license.

I have two and have used both for numerous things... Edit: I'm hearing conlficting things and may call my DMV to get a solid answer...

I want to keep one in my car. There have been a few times I've forgotten my wallet when i am going somewhere, I can manage without cash for a day, but if i got stopped for W/E reason (ex worst case senario, i get into an accident) on a day i forgot my wallet, id like to have a copy in my glovebox...

Or you could just stop forgetting your wallet?

Bunni, in my professionl opinion, I would advise against it, check your local/state laws first

Hope you don't live in Texas.

BTW if they scan your DL it will show that the old one is expired so you better hope you have the valid one on you.

first off if you drive without a license it is very easy for the officer to pull up your license by running your name, address, registration, or anything else you provide them, really not a big deal, happens more than you think. Also having only one is certainly a better option these days with identity theft running so rampant. Granted its only one number to the combination needed but i personally wound not want to give away a freebie to anyone............. As i personally think it would be alot harder fixing something someone else fucks up than something as simple as driving to a court house/police station and presenting your real license when you pay your fine for what it is you got pulled over for in the first place. just my opinion though sometimes it is good not to duplicate things that are legal documents.............

I don't think it would be a huge deal. If pulled over, you could explain how you lost the original and then found it later on. Better than not having any ID.
