This is just a PSA -

When you or a loved one stops driving - DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR LAST DRIVERS LICENSE even after it has expired.

You can use it still to identify yourself with your insurance info at the docs office. Showing a picture ID at your docs office is a way to stop someone else from using your Medicare and/or Medicaid. So it is becoming common place for the medical establishment to get your picture ID and retain a copy of it with your insurance info.

In some states, this old expired drivers license can last a very long time; maybe forever. If you have thrown it away, in many states, maybe all, IDK, you can get a senior picture IDs at the DMV. In some states if you are incapacitated in going somewhere to get it, they have mobile units that can get to you for this purpose - you just need to have your verifiable info ready - your old expired drivers license is such a document - so it is just good to keep it.
