Not a DA in this state that would prosecute this, and I would doubt an officer would want to look so silly as to charge you.

Re: Help with name on license

Pluto wrote:Ok. So, I was told by a LEO that my name on my license had to match my name on my CHL. Now let's assume my name is "John Doe Unknown."

On my license it states:

John Doe Unknown

On my chl it states:

John D Unknown


He said it can be refused because of this. Is this true? He said because the middle initial can stand for anything.

If it happens again ask him to cite the statute because you want to read in through to make sure that you are in full compliance.


I had a similar incident happen at Sam's the other day, membership card says "Steve", credit card stays "Stephen." I had to convince the cashier that Steve is actually short for Stephen.
