Getting a new ID when you turn 21 can be pretty exciting — that little card is supposed to open the door to a whole lot of grown-up fun, but it probably won't work if it looks absolutely nothing like you. 

Kamari Smith was looking forward to getting his new license in the mail after celebrating his 21st birthday. When it finally arrived, it had his name on it, but the photo was that of a senior citizen. 

“I might go to jail for that one right there,” Smith said

The funny mix-up was featured as "the ugly" on "Fox & Friends"' "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" segment. 

DMV officials asked Smith to return to the license service center to fill out another application and take another photo but assured him this one would be free of charge.
