Double Photos?

Post by Kevin8503 »

Just wondering the rationale, I'm sure one if you guys (or gals) will know why...

Submitted my app in Geauga County on Saturday morning (wooooo that was one heck of a drive). To submit I had to attach a passport photo (which is cool, no big deal). She taped it to the application, took my prints, and then took another photograph of me against a blue background.

I guess I'm at a loss for the need of two separate photographs. First one to fulfill the ORC and a second because they like a digital copy? Idk, just seems pointless.

Someone enlighten me please :)

The photo you provide was for your folder to help with the background check and is mandated by law. The picture they took of you is the one that will go on your CHL once you pass the background check.
Ignorant or Stupid, I'm not sure which is worse. If someone were stupid, at least they'd have an excuse for all the dumb things they say.

IANAL and neither are most people on this board, its just shows more with some than others.

The digital photo gets printed on your license.

Back in 04 the digital photo wasn't usually taken till the day you picked up the approved License. As set up, the photo you supplied with the application was to insure that the person picking up the License was the same on that dropped off the application.
At least that was the story in 04!

Geesh, maybe that wasn't the morning to just roll out of bed and go!

Makes sense, thanks everyone!
