Legalities of State I.D. and Drivers License
Is it illegal in EVERY state to be asked your hair color or your weight on your State I.D. and Drivers License? I am for certain that it is illegal in some states, but is it an American law that every state must follow?

It's not illegal in any state, some states just don't do it. Those that do not have found that so many people change hair color, weight, and other things so often that there's no point in having it on an ID.
I live in Florida, and my DL only doesn't have height, weight, or hair color. Just a photo, signature, DOB, and name. It wouldn't be illegal for them to ask if they wanted to, though. They just don't.

Each state has an established set of laws seperate from federal (but most comply with federal)I'm not aware of it being illegal to having such info on an ID. I know the Flordia driver's license doesn't list the individual's hair color or weight. My first assumption would be that both can easily change. It is unlawful to have incorrect information on an ID (fraud). Search online under your state regulations, but I highly doubt it's every state.

No... the purpose of your ID is to be able to identify you... and physical characteristics are used in the process of indentification... for example suppose your a 5ft 2, 110 lbs, blonde with blue eyes, and you get pulled over and ur underage and you under the influence, but you have someone else's ID who is 6ft, 160 lbs, black hair, brown eyes, the cop would say this isn't you... there's nothing illegal about it.
edit: Discrimination is unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice. Asking someone to list their physical characteristics for identification puroposes is NOT illegal in ANY state. It is MANDATORY. Now by indentification i mean Driver's license, im not sure what you were referring to.
