I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this question, but I want to know if coloring on a driver license invalidates it. I'm not talking about making real changes - more like coloring in sleeves or filling in a neckline.

Why would you expect that altering an official document will not invalidate it? – Jan 12 '20 at 01:40

@Nij it's not a real alteration. A driver's license has a photo on it. I'm talking about making adjustments to the clothing in the photo – Jan 12 '20 at 01:52

4Yes, it’s a real alteration - you are changing the photograph the document issues approved to go on the document, that’s a real alteration. – Jan 12 '20 at 02:09

I'm a notary. If someone showed me a marked-up license, I'd refuse to perform the notarization, and make a note of the persons name and phone number, to make sure I would never make another appointment with the person.
Is there a law that says I have to refuse? I don't think so. Is there is a law that says I can refuse if I have any doubts about the person's identity? Absolutely.
