No, you’re not allowed to wear glasses in US passport photos, even if they’re your favorite pair you never leave the house without. You have to remove any glasses or sunglasses before taking the photo, and you can’t rest them on your head. That’s not all you need to know, though!
If you aren’t supposed to remove your glasses for medical reasons, you can include a signed note from your doctor with your passport application. Fortunately, most eyeglass wearers can safely remove their specs for long enough to take a photo. If your vision is very limited without glasses, the best solution is to keep them handy by putting them in a pocket or purse.
