Can I wear colored contact lenses for driver's license photos?

[VanAaron]

When taking photos for a driver's license or other identification documents, it is generally not allowed to wear colored contact lenses. However, if you are nearsighted, you can still wear colored contacts for the photo, but you should only choose black or chocolate-colored lenses. These colors closely resemble natural eye colors and are less likely to be detected. Other colors are not recommended, as they may affect the validity of the driver's license. Specific requirements for driver's license photos are as follows: No colored glasses are allowed, as they may reflect light during the photo session, obscuring the eyes and rendering the photo invalid, requiring a retake. The appearance should not be exaggerated. Photos submitted for a driver's license application must be taken within the last six months. The image should be clear, with no heavy makeup or exaggerated accessories, to avoid significant discrepancies between the photo and the actual appearance. Hair color should be natural—no multicolored hair or unusual hairstyles. Typically, black or brown hair is acceptable, and the hair should not cover facial features.
