Do I have to wear glasses for my driver's license photo if I'm nearsighted?

If you are nearsighted and usually wear glasses while driving, then you must wear glasses when taking your driver's license photo. You need to wear glasses without lenses, which are generally available at photo studios where the pictures are taken. Below is an introduction to the requirements for driver's license photos: 1. No accessories that obscure facial features: The face should not have obvious distortion, tilting, turning, heavy makeup, or accessories. 2. The driver's license photo requires a one-inch white background color photo: The photo must be taken within the last 6 months of the applicant. 3. No bizarre hairstyles: For multi-colored hair, temporary hair wax should be used to return the hair to a normal state.
Driving with myopia requires wearing glasses, as clearly stipulated by traffic regulations. I remember during the driver's license test, vision was checked. If myopia did not meet the standard vision requirements, corrective glasses or contact lenses were mandatory to pass the exam. Not wearing them on the road could result in a ticket from the police, and more seriously, lead to accidents due to unclear road conditions, such as misjudging traffic signals or pedestrian positions. From my experience, safe driving demands clear vision; otherwise, risks like lane changes on highways or driving in foggy conditions increase significantly. It's advisable to regularly check for prescription changes to ensure the glasses are suitable. Developing the habit of wearing glasses before driving is a fundamental responsibility and legal obligation—protecting both yourself and others.
