I guess it has to be mugshot quality.
Vertical smiles tend to be eschewed by the process.

It’s frickin’ Joisy. G’wan gitouttahere!

Cute!
These IDs are regularly sold within the DPS offices by corrupt employees. The fox is in the henhouse. Don't tell me not to smile because state employees are crooks and can't be trusted.

Be alert, the world needs more lerts.
Stuff napkins in your cheeks before the photo op. The DMV folks don’t know you.
