Temporary licence - glasses or no glasses?

I am waiting for my RP to come through and have been told i need to get a temporary licence to drive in the meantime. I always wear contact lenses but have been told that I should take photographs wearing my glasses. Is this true? If I take photographs with no glasses and present to traffic with no glasses will there be a problem?


 


Thanks

In the license process you need to take an eye test. When you go for this, just make sure you are as see in the photo. If you are wearing glasses in that photo, you need to go for eye test with glasses. And go with contact lenses if you are wearing contacts in the photo. Once eye test is ok, all the rest is straight forward, you will have no issues.

There wont be any problem. When he is going to test your eyes just tell him I am wearing contact lense. I did the same thing 4 years back.
