My ID expires on my 21st birthday....?

Question

My ID expires on my 21st birthday and I want to get my new ID before my birthday so that I can go out to the bars. The problem is that I want the ID to be vertical rather than the horizontal ones that are for those under 21, also I don't want to go out with a temp paper ID... Any suggestions??

Answer 1

Check with the ID issuer...they deal with this problem all the time.

Answer 2

Old IDs are valid for identification purposes. Just hold off on getting a new one.  

Answer 3

actually, NO state will willing issue you the id before your 21st birthday. because they are afraid of you going to the bars early. But, there have been some odd exceptions, keep in mind that if you do get ur id ahead of time. And you do go into the bars, early it will be consider a fake and you will get arrest for it.  

(note no matter if you get your license renewed 6months (state of MI allows you to get renewal that far ahead if you wanted to), 1 month, 2months ahead) you should get it either day OF or day AFTER your 21st.  

Answer 4

Get a new one on or before your birthday.Eiliat is wrong. An expired ID is invalid so the bars shouldn't accept it. It would suck not to get served on your birthday. Don't chance it get a new one. Happy Birthday And drink responsibly don't drink and drive.

Answer 5

I suggest going to DMV about a month or two before your birthday and ask the people there, they can probably give you more information about it.

I got mine before my 21st so it didnt expire when i turned 21, and all the bars seemed to accept it
