Austrian Niko Alm successfully applied for a religious exemption in order to appear on his driver’s license photo wearing a pasta strainer, a traditional head covering of his religion, Pastafarianism, aka the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The request was approved after nearly a year delay, and only after Alm obtained a psychiatrist’s note affirming his mental fitness to drive.
Alm now intends to petition the Austrian Government to officially recognize Pastafarianism as a religion.
