HF 630 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act authorizing persons to wear eyeglasses when photographed for driver’s licenses and nonoperator’s identification cards.

HF 630 allows Iowans to wear their regular eyeglasses during photo sessions for driver's licenses and nonoperator ID cards, without being required to remove them. The bill amends Iowa Code sections 321.189 and 321.190 to explicitly state that applicants "shall not be required to remove eyeglasses ordinarily worn." This directly affects anyone applying for or renewing these state-issued IDs. The key change is removing a prior requirement to remove glasses for the photo, making the process more convenient for people who rely on eyewear. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 2 sentences as requested.)
