If so, is yours accurate to your knowledge? Or do you fudge the numbers or leave your old weight when you renew, even if you know you've gained more than a few?
Just curious because I sometimes have to get the height and weight when new patients come in, and to give me a ballpark about where to put the scale I look at their license. Pretty consistently, I have to subtract 1-2 inches from their height and add 50+ lbs to their weight. I can understand coming across a 15 or 20lb difference, but some of these people are 100 more pounds!

I had to look at mine to know. It (NY) has height but not weight. I think the height is within 1" (I remember rounding up to the nearest 1" back when I was 18 yrs. old). I'm sure I've shrunk a bit now that I'm 50.
From a law enforcement perspective it is funny when a female has 120 lbs down as her weight but looking at her you can easily tell she is over 180 or 200. Then they get pissy when on the ticket weight is listed at 190lbs.
In Indiana height and weight is listed. Height is accurate, weight is what I weighed when I first applied for an IN drivers license 10 years ago. I think weight is probably off by 25 pounds or so. I don't think last time I renewed they even asked me about it.
Ha. Even eye color is self declared. The examiner is standing there 3 feet away, and can see my eyes perfectly, and they ask the only person in the world who CANNOT see my eyes what color they are.
Wisconsin -- Height and Weight.
Michigan, Texas, Florida -- Height only.
Even US passports do not have height or weight on them.
Delaware has height and weight and it's self-declared. There's a tape measure stuck to a pole somewhere in the DMV, but the guy at the counter told me to just guess rather than measure myself.
