On occasion, when they exploded, they necessitated a change of underwear too.

I think (not sure) that will accept a pic from your mobile phone if oyu have a single background colour.

I think details are on DVLA website somewhere.

 

Yeah be warned doing it with a phone it can be very fussy, i suggest taking a LOAD of photos as a selfie on the phone in one of those photobooths if you really would want to save the money, it's annoying - but it will eventually accept one... but tbh it's probably worth just paying to get it done

Passport applications now require you to remove your glasses …

Don't think they do, my passport, bus pass and driving license all have me wearing my glasses. But there are stipulations as to the wearing of eyeglasses, reflection, tinting etc.

Had to remove my glasses for my passport photo last year.

Do not wear glasses in your photo unless you have to do so. If you must wear glasses, they cannot be sunglasses or tinted glasses, and you must make sure your eyes are not covered by the frames or any glare, reflection or shadow
