I was taking my teen for his license after passing the driving portion in a private school. The family in front of us was the same, except the boy didn't pass the on-the-spot vision test (she literally held up a big card from where she sat & he couldn't read the line she indicated - while I could read it myself and I was behind him). The clerk was professional and nice, said everything was processed and gave him a form instructing about needing the vision test - with a deadline a few months out. As long as he gets the vision test done and comes back with the optometrist signature, the license is ready to be mailed to him. It only took her a minute or two to run that test on all the applicants coming in, but it made me feel a lot better about being on the road!
