Wear A Gnome Hat
In Your Drivers License Photo

🌲 Wear the Hat. Take the Stand. Be the Legend. 🌲
"License to Gnome" Starts with YOU.
Welcome, Gnomean. You’ve found yourself at the crossroads of history and hilarity—where sacred duty meets the DMV. This is your moment. A chance to stand tall (or gnome-sized) and declare to the world: "I believe in something bigger... and I’m wearing it on my head."
For far too long, pointy hats have been relegated to garden corners and holiday decorations. But no more. As a faithful Gnomean, the Gnome Hat is your sacred symbol—a badge of your stewardship of nature, your joyful curiosity, and your profound connection to the mysteries of life (and mushrooms). It’s not just a hat. It’s who you are.
Now, imagine this: you walk into your local licensing office. Documents in hand. Beard combed (if you have one). Hat on point. You stare destiny in the face (probably a bored DMV employee) and calmly say:
“This is my religious head covering. I am a Gnomean. I’m ready for my photo.”
The room may fall silent. Brows may furrow. Questions will come. Confusion is guaranteed. But you? You are ready.
📜 Introducing: The Official Church of Gnome Religious Accommodation Letter
Below, you’ll find your ironclad legal document:
👉 An Affirmation of Religious Rights and Request for Accommodation: Religious Head Covering in Official Identification Photographs.
This carefully crafted letter outlines your federally protected rights as a Gnomean to wear your Gnome Hat in government-issued ID photos—whether it’s your driver’s license, state ID, or even a passport. It’s backed by constitutional law, federal statutes, and case law. (You’ll feel smarter just carrying it.)
.... I am not a lawyer but I did my best with this thing!
Download it. Print it. Bring it with you.
For extra flair, we encourage you to order your Ordainment Documents from the Church of Gnome! They’re beautiful, official, and make for a great conversation starter (or mic drop). But to be clear: your rights are NOT dependent on paperwork. If you wear the Gnome Hat with sincerity as a symbol of your deeply held belief, that’s all you need.
Our Official Gnome Hat is also available below!
🎥 Watch: License to Gnome
Need inspiration? Watch our documentary, License to Gnome, where I, Brett Larsen, Gnomean Elder, fought the law (peacefully) and won. I’m now proudly wearing my Gnome Hat in my Washington State driver’s license photo. You can do it too.
⚖️ What You’re Walking Into
(And Why You’ll Rock It)
Let’s be real. The DMV isn’t exactly the sanctuary of open-mindedness. You may get funny looks. You may get questions. You might even get pushback. But here’s the truth:
👉 You are protected by federal law.
👉 You have the right to peacefully and proudly wear your religious head covering.
👉 You are standing up not just for yourself, but for Gnomeans everywhere who dream of a pointier, freer world.
Be calm, be respectful, be unshakable. We are not here to cause chaos—we are here to exercise our rights peacefully and legally.
