People sitting for driver's license photographs can't wear head coverings, according to Ohio policy. But there are exceptions for wigs or hairpieces that a person customarily wears, along with headwear for religious reasons and medical treatments. However, nothing can cover a person's face.

What kind of ID photo is that? When not only can you not tell who the person is, but, if the person is even female or not. Great ID!
