Should I wear glasses in the C1 license renewal photo?
2 Answers
Whether to wear glasses in the C1 license renewal photo is optional. Below is an introduction to the knowledge about license renewal: 1. New regulations for license renewal: Motor vehicle drivers can apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the license issuing location within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driving license. 2. Required documents: When renewing the license, you need to bring the original and a copy of your ID card, the driving license, a physical condition certificate, three one-inch white background color photos, and the renewal fee. The license photo should not include colored glasses, scarves, earrings, or other accessories that cover facial features. The face should not have obvious distortion, tilting, turning, heavy makeup, or accessories.
Last year when I renewed my C1 driver's license myself, I forgot to take off my glasses before taking the photo and was immediately stopped by the staff to retake it, which really wasted time. It turns out that according to regulations, you cannot wear glasses in the photo for two reasons: first, the reflection from glasses can blur facial features, making identity verification difficult; second, the frames may block the eyes or eyebrows, affecting the accuracy of the recognition system. It's recommended to remove glasses before taking the photo, choose a well-lit background, wear dark-colored tops, and avoid hats or hair covering the face. If you're nearsighted and worried about not seeing clearly, just get used to it beforehand. Later, I went to a photo studio, told them the driver's license standards, and passed in one go—don't be as careless as I was. Remember to bring your original ID card and medical examination proof when renewing your license to avoid waiting in line for nothing. In short, taking off your glasses saves trouble.
