Dear Yahoo!:
What color do they put on driver's licenses for people who've dyed their hair blue, green, etc.?
Green Jean
Dear Jean:
After dutifully trawling through several DMV application forms and personal blog entries, we regretfully report that we cannot provide a definitive answer to your query. This is a state's rights issue.

The key here is whether you fill out the form, or the DMV employee does. In most cases, we found that the hair color call is yours. Naturally, this can lead to a lot of soul searching in the DMV line. Witness this woman's internal struggle.

But even when it's up to you, there are limits. The Nevada DMV, for instance, offers nine options: bald, black, blonde, brown, grey, red, sandy, unknown, and white. Notice the "unknown" escape hatch.

When the onus is on the DMV employee, catty remarks inevitably ensue. But most of these exchanges tend to be pretty good-humored. Since even eye color is a variable these days, it's the photo that counts.
