LTCF PICTURE ON CARD

[jt0311]

this has probably been asked before. how many of you paid the extra 5 bucks to get your picture on your ltcf. and if so why? i did'nt get mine on there simply because they said it was not needed.

Here in Chester County they only issue the picture version.... at least that is the one I received.

We don't have that option here. Our LTCF is the "credit card" type and has our photo, which they take when you apply/renew.

It may be worthwhile if you wish to use it for identification purposes.

In Washington County I did not have a choice. Had to get the picture. I haven't had to renew yet in Allegheny County, but really if I was offered the choice I'd pay the $5 for the picture.

In dauphin county when i got mine they asked if i wanted my picture on there for an extra 7.00 dollars. I said do i need to have a picture on there and they said no then i said ill pass then.

I did the same thing...at the time I got mine I was WAAAAAAY low on funds. Since the photo was extra, I passed. Now that I have a couple of dollars to my name, I'll get a photo on the renewal. It would be nice to have two government photo IDs...especially if I don't want to give a drivers license to someone.

Just out of plane curiosity, under what circumstances would you be reluctant to provide a driver's license but happy to oblige with an LTCF?

hmmm. i would like to know why you can chose to have a picture or not in dauphin co. but others mandate a picture? is dauphin co. the norm or is having to have a picture the norm. my best guess is each co. sheriff is deciding what is "required".

can anyone confirm if having a picture on your ltcf is considered a valid form of government id? most places i see say they only accept dl,military id.
