Driver's license will expire soon..
    #17867441 -

This should be somewhat of a no-brainer, but eh. Reaching out for opinions nonetheless.

My driver's license will expire in less than 2 weeks, turning 25. I'm opting to NOT renew it, just going to let it expire, rendering me with absolutely no valid photo identification whatsoever.

I don't drive. Public transportation has treated me well for about 2 years. $40 a month for a damn bus pass is a way better deal than spending that per gas-stop in my opinion. I can afford a car no problem, I just honestly have no use for one at all. I've never been drunk, I don't smoke. I honestly don't have much of a life, which is really why I don't see the need for an ID.

I travel a few times a year, which may require me to actually get a passport at some point, but until then..

Wondering if any of you other folks also *don't* carry ID? Any thoughts? Opinions?

I can't imagine why you would not carry valid identification.
You will need it for employment and housing and a myriad of other important transactions, and they will require it to be to-date. If you can supposedly afford a car, you can afford the trivial renewal fee.
In other words, there is no positive reason I can think of not to renew your ID.

I had an expired ID for like 2 years and I still drove with it.  Most places will except it, though some bars will be dicks about it.  If you don't have the money it isn't that big of a deal.  If you have the money get a new id.

I've got a house, I've got a job. I can't remember the last time I bought anything that required a photo ID. They're required when flying, but a passport can be used, there.

Ok, and the audience is still curious as to why you're raging against the machine in such a peculiar and maladroit manner.

just FYI, a US passport is a valid form of ID. that shit is the equivalent of a license, minus the whole driving part

If you lose a passport its a much bigger pain in the ass though, plus its something that's worth a lot more money than a license.  I think OP is being a lazy bastard personally and needs to just go to the DMV and spend 45 minutes with those degenerates just like the rest of us have to do.

When I had to renew mine, it was insanely easy and practically free. And I had tickets and accidents on my record. What problems are you running into renewing yours?

You may have trouble flying anywhere without a valid ID
I have been let on planes with out it, but once on the way coming back to where I live, I was told I needed 2 other ID's with my name on it in addition to my expired license (& luckily I had recently been at the library because I didn't have a computer at the time) & the library card counted as one of them.
ALSO
If you don't renew it within a year from the time it expires, if you ever decide to renew it in the future, you will have to retake your drivers exam rather than just getting your picture taken & paying the twenty one bucks.

That varies by state to state, I've never had to retake my drivers test.

No problems that I'm aware of.. I just don't see a need for it anymore. Like I said, the only time I ever use a photo ID is for travel.

I've been living in California for 2 years now, having a Michigan driver's license the entire time. Haven't had any issues whatsoever. Opened a bank account shortly after moving here. Transferring jobs went flawlessly, purchased a house. Granted, my SS card was required for both, but I honestly have no need for an ID outside of traveling.

You never know when you might need it in the future. Better to have and not need than need and not have and all that.

Maybe you'll become a raging alcoholic and then where will you be :lol:

In many states, you can get a photo ID card instead of a drivers license.

Not having an ID has the potential to screw you over in many situations mentioned above.  There's not a good reason to NOT have one, as it can only cause problems.  However that seems to be your goal here since your so adamant about not getting one.

you're*

How is.. not needing one NOT a good reason to not have one? That seems backwards to me.

If a cop asks you for ID you are supposed to be able to produce one.  It can get you arrested and printed for one.

I've never been asked to produce an ID aside from venues and airports. Must be a common experience for most of you folks replying.

It comes with the territory of being a criminal...  If you are getting arrested anyway though it really doesn't matter, as my prints are on file.
