And that's one of the issues causing the problem here.

For example, I'm carrying a California driver's license that has a 10 year old photo.

At the time the photo was taken, I looked somewhat like Brad Pitt....or so I'm told.

Now, 10 years later, I look more like Danny DeVito.

So even though my CA DL is valid, the picture is so outdated as to be useless.
