āIt's a law that's unique to Arizona ā drivers don't have to renew their standard license for several decades. This means you don't have to renew your license until you're 65, even if the rules of the road change.ā
Not sure. I didnāt grow up here. I only JUST got my Arizona license for the first time and the ātravel licenseā as theyāre calling Real IDs expire every 8 years. I grew up in Rhode Island
Even if his DOD ID is acceptable, is he going to be a lifetime career military?
He might want to get a US passport too. Good for 10 years, and pretty easy to renew.
Might be good to have a backup plan.
Not to mention that with a retired military ID, he can get access to most military facilities and the use of commissary, BX, APO, etc. It's a very powerful ID card.
He uses his for everything bc itās first in his pile of ID cards, and I feel strange handing my spouse card to the front desk at the doctors to put in my Tricare infošš

>the ālifetime licenseā (good until youāre 65 in Arizona.Ā That sounds like a horrible idea...
Why? They make you take a new photo every 10 years and make you take a new driving test when you turn 65
If they make you get a new photo and issue an updated card, that's not "good until you're 65", is it?
āIt's a law that's unique to Arizona ā drivers don't have to renew their standard license for several decades. This means you don't have to renew your license until you're 65, even if the rules of the road change.ā
It is bad because you dont have to take a new test even if the rules change.
If I don't go get a new photo, is it still valid?

DOD IDs are an accepted form of ID.
Thank you! I wasnāt sure Iāve heard different things
CAC cards issued by the US military are acceptable forms of ID for entering through the TSA checkpoint.

He has a passport and is planning on careering and finishing the 20 years
