The weight on my driver’s license is not what I weigh now. I had a baby and have not yet lost all the weight. I have at least 4 years before it expires and do not want to go through the hassle of changing it while I am in the middle of losing weight. I say all that to ask how picky are the airports (like security checkpoints) on the weight difference? Just want to know if I should get it changed before I leave. Have not flown in 18 years.
you have got to be kidding me. they don’t look at the friggin weight.

They don’t care. I don’t think anyone looks at that info. I don’t even know why they still list it on there.

it only matters if you are over a certain weight, in which case you need to buy two seats. but they would judge that buy looking at you anyway. what it says on your licence doesn’t matter.

They do not look at the weight (is that still even on our DLs? lol). They look at your name to make sure it matches the name onyour ticket and look at the photo to make sure it matches you. The only thing you might want to check is if the weight gain/loss has affected the way you look. I gain weight in the face so I see definite differences in my old (skinny) pictures and ones from today. But my smile is the same so I’ve never been questioned.
Change in hair styles and color, glasses or no glasses, can also change your appearance and cause them to take a second glance at you and the photo. But they’re not going to quiz you or make you get on a scale.
Have fun on your trip! I love flying!

I’ve lived in 4 different states and my weight has never been on my driver’s license. So I’m going to guess weight isn’t even on their radar.
They look to make sure your ID is valid, the picture is you, and the name on the ID matches the name on the boarding pass.
