Is it illegal to drive all dressed up with your guy drivers license? I mean do you have to have a 2nd drivers license with you being all dressed up in the picture. I don't want a cop to think I'm in disguise if pulled over.

Not really sure about the answer to that but common sense tells me the state wouldn't allow you to have two drivers license. If your really concerned about it, give your local authorities a call and simply ask. If you want to remain unidentifiable use a public phone...do they have those anymore, pay phones?
Nope, although some go to the extent of getting a femme ID just for that purpose.

There is nothing illegal about driving while dressed. Just be sure to carry your license with you, and that it's not expired, suspended or rekoked. Driving without a license is an arrestable offense.
Make that revoked.
April,
Most states do have laws prohibiting wearing a "disguise" in public, but the legal standard that needs to be met is that it must be used for the purpose of hiding one's identity while committing a seperate criminal offense. Crossdressing does NOT fit within that category, and the subject of crossdressers and transgendered folk is covered in most types of state-mandated awareness training.
If, for whatever reason you get stopped, simply tell the officer that you are a crossdresser if asked. YOu might get a snide comment, but most likely you'll get your ticket, etc, and be told to have a safe day/night/afternoon, etc.
The one and only time I had an interraction with the police while dressed, they simply took my license, verified the info (the officer asked if it was my license, and I replied that it sure was) and I was left to complete my ATM transaction.
In short, you'll most likely not get any static unless you're doing something against the law.
Hope this helps!

It's not a problem. I've been stopped for speeding and nothing was said about my photo.
I am very happy to live in a civilized part of world (old Europe) where you may drive as femme as you want (wearing as much make-up and fake hair you want), and whatever your sexual orientation is, but not having drunk too much or being at the telephone !
I don't think it is illegal, at least I hope not - JoAnne has driven across many states

It is not illegal in my state. I haven't been stopped many times under any circumstances, but the last time that it happened (because of a burned-out tail-light), I was dressed en femme and the officer didn't even blink. I showed my license, he noted the information and told me about the tail-light, and that was that.Originally Posted by diane51
Check with local authorities. They'll tell you.

In New York it's illegal to carry two driver's licenses. When you receive a new license you're obligated under law to destroy the older one.
It's not a crime in New York to drive enfemme, but some (usually bigoted) police officers might give you a hard time, especially if you don't look like a feminine version of your masculine picture. For instance, if you are totally unrecognizable they may ask to see *your* license, but calmly (and possibly in your regular voice) say that it is your license. You might get a couple awkward looks, but most people won't say boo. This also goes for using your ID to purchase alcohol.
Like the other poster said, it's only illegal in some states if you do it with criminal intent, or in the commission of a crime. I've been stopped a couple times with no problems. Just stop and be polite. DO NOT panic and try to get away!!!!!
I cannot see where it would be illegal unless you were committing a crime. Bad amkeup is not a crime. LOL
Ladies have a GREAT time!
Smile GOD LOVES you!!!
GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

My first real night out, I'm out with a bunch of girls at a club and our driver accidentally left the keys in the ignition with the car running all night. Now it's after 2 a.m., freezing cold and she had to call the police to open up the car. Six of us dressed to the nines and officer didn't say a thing out of the ordinary, even when one of the gals tried to flirt with him. He checked her ID, and that was it. The only other time was when I went through a sobriety checkpoint, maybe he looked at me long enough to know, maybe not but no problem, though i look more like a woman on my driver's license than i do in person.
If you are nervous about being out, keep in mind unexpected issues like a checkpoint or flat tire or who knows. I usually keep some makeup remover, a pair of jeans and a tee in the car just in case. I really don't care who sees me, but I wouldn't want to have to walk to a gas station at 3 a.m. in heels and lipstick.
A disguise? I don't consider going out enfemme as a disguise! That's when your dressed as mini-mouse or Hillary Clinton! Lol. Your still you no matter what clothing you wear..
good advice to check with your local police. as the other posters said, you should have a criminal intent in mind to be arrested.
I hope not in England as I have been out driving while fully dressed a few times.
I must admit the thought of having a break down or a flat tyre while in my stockings and heels is always a turn on
I haven't driven en femme yet, but then I've only been out once so far and that was just down the road so I walked. I will try it sometime this year when going to meet my new friends and therapy visits.

Hi,
Didn't cause me any problem in Ohio when i was stopped at a sobriety check point.
Praise the Lord for THIS...Bad makeup is not a crime.
WOW! based on your avatar, you must look better than most GGs cause your avatar sure is convincing...i look more like a woman on my driver's license than i do in person.
i made an ID card that basically has my femme picture on it with my girly name. it then says AKA D.......... .....l with my correct address. i carry it with my license when im out just in case theres any issues...
of course i made it pink with a rainbow pyramid so there should be NO reason to receive grief. i laminated it at a local office supply store where customers can run the laminator on their own...
Some of our friends here in Detroit, cross the border to Windsor, Canada. As long as customs is certain of your real I.D. they don't get concerned with the costume. Sober is the main thing. The check points are not used often in Michigan, but DUI would be a real bummer. Cops seem to develope the sixth sense. As one who is required to maintain a Commerical License, two is a BIG federal offense.
In Colorado It is only illegal if you have one of those "Focus on your own damn family" bumper stickers, than it's a hanging offence. But O so worth it.
As long as it's your license you drive as a clown or a gorilla. Whatever you want hon!
It all depends on what normal is... I mean if you are a girl at heart doesn't dressing in male clothes become a disguise. I don't think it is illegal anywhere, but if asked by a police officer don't hide your true identity. I hear in the EU it will be legal to hold a female and male ID soon if a new law passes. That would be a great innovation the rest of the world should adopt.
i live in cyprus and i can tell u police brutality is at a high they would definately beat me up if i got pulled over whilst driving its hard being accepted as a gay guy let alone being a cder they dont take to kindly to us girls here so if your ever in cyprus then be wary of the police here! oh and let me know your here so we can go shopping or somethin! lolxx
