A non-driver's state ID works for everything you'd use a driver's license for except operating a motor vehicle. Even though people typically say, "Driver's license" when they really mean either kind of state-issued ID card.
- koheripbal 7y agoIsn't a driver's license nearly as easy to renew as a non-driving state ID? I don't see the point, even if you only need to rent a car on rare instances.
- II2II 7y agoThere are people who choose not to drive. If you have never had a license, there is nothing to renew. Then there are people who do not qualify for a driver's license (e.g. medical reasons). Heck, I've lived most of my (middle-aged) life without ID and probably haven't used it in the past three years.

- kelnos 7y agoUsually the state ID is cheaper, but not so much that if you already have a driver's license you'd "downgrade", most likely. YMMV, though.
