At the bottom of the licence is a notice indicating it is a copy, hence the lack of a signature and other details - height, weight and address
" I hereby certify that the document to which this is affixed is a true copy of the records of the Department of Motor Vehicles".
Here is a section from the DMV website giving the information about obtaining a copy
maybe TMZ was able to obtain a copy perhaps via a family member or another one of their sources
How to get a copy of someone else's driver license, ID card, vehicle or vessel record
Vehicle, vessel, driver license and identification (ID) card records are open to public inspection. Confidential information, such as social security numbers and residence addresses, may only be disclosed to a court, law enforcement agency or other individual when they are authorized by a specific federal or state statute.
To request vehicle registration record or driver license/identification card record information, complete a Request for Record Information INF 70 form.
Effective March 24, 2010, casual requestors cannot immediately obtain information from his/her spouse, minor child, or registered domestic partner. If you wish to obtain the vehicle registration record or driver license/identification card record information of your spouse, minor child, or registered domestic partner, please complete an INF 70 .
Mail your request with the appropriate fees (provided on form) to:
Department of Motor Vehicles
Public Operations, Unit-G199
P. O. BOX 944247
Sacramento, California 94244-2470.
The form must be submitted to DMV headquarters in Sacramento for processing as the law requires DMV send a copy of the request form to the subject of record.
NOTE: You will not receive residence address information unless a state or federal statute is cited and approved by code name and section number that authorizes or requires the release.
