My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. His driving days are over. His driver’s license expires in a few months and we won’t be renewing it. I realize there is no harm in getting a state ID card, but is there a need for him to have a current form of ID? In getting legal paperwork in order, he has had to show his ID several times lately. He is still living at home.
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
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.
In my state the ID does function like a non-driving driver’s license.
