There may in future, in your own state, be some need for this in voting? If your husband still is interested and wishes to vote. There will certainly be for air travel if you intend to do that, and may be to match say "covid vaccination proof " to an ID. Many entities do accept an expired license for a long time, but you cannot count on that. My brother turned in his license and the same day got his ID card done. I took him to do this. What's the worst? It can be an entertaining to people watch while you wait. Once I got all the POA things settled out with each entity and each bank and so on my brother was never asked for ID again in the latter three years of his life. I wouldn't have wanted to leave that up to chance, however. I am glad he had it.

Yes he needs a current ID.
Bring him in when the license is about to expire and just get an ID.
And this might also be needed if you ever have to travel with him.

Most DMV where you get the ID will have reduced fees for Seniors as well

I would get the ID if I were you and get it before the DL expires. You just never know what can happen that would make you look back and realize you should have gotten it while it was relatively easy. check online. You may be able to get it without taking him in as long as his current ID hasn’t expired. It could in future delay or deny some benefit that he might need or otherwise qualify for.
Having said that, I have not had a problem since my DH aunt had her ID expire. She is almost 96. Your husband is relatively young if something happened to you, it might make life easier for the next caregiver/advocate.

We just received information about this at our most recent senior citizens’ meeting. Call your county office and ask them if there are situations in which he might need something like the card you described.

In my state the ID does function like a non-driving driver’s license.
