I don't think I've ever actually smiled for a Driver's license picture before. I usually like to dye my hair blonde beforehand, simply because with my particular frown/glare I look like a convict out on bail for a murder case(Many many MANY other peoples words, not my own. LOL)

I know you can't smile for passports here but I think in NS smiling was ok for drivers license. Can't remember what they said about it here.

I haven't seen a drivers license yet, or any other form of photo ID that has someone smiling. I got my health card updated a couple weeks ago and I was told not to smile. I doubt it's banned but its just best not to smile, because it distorts your face and its such a small photo. It needs to be as clear as possible.

Edit: I live in Canada.

Wait your health card has a photo on it? Alberta is so cheap with them they're literally a piece of paper with your name and health card number on it and you have to laminate it yourself ffs lol. At least in NS the card was actually plastic.

I'm always so happy to get all the testing and waiting in line done that I'm grinning like I'm in a toothpaste commercial on mine.

Ohio DMV staff have the uncanny ability to drain the happiness right out of me.

I get all the paperwork, fill it out, and bring it up to the counter with a polite smile on my face. I'm frowning on my way back every time.

I think it's the way they ask me if I want to be an organ donor. Almost like they're...looking forward to it.

I don't know a single person that is smiling on their Driver's Licence. Everybody usually looks hung-over or ill.
