I gave up driving two years ago. I am nearly 85.

DMIL didn't bother to renew passport or licence, as she wouldn't be travelling overseas or driving any more, and hit all sorts of ID problems. She was even asked if she could produce a gun licence.

I would definitely renew it as it doesn’t cost anything, then if you need it for identification purposes you have it without the hassle of a passport etc.

I have a seniors bus pass not because I use the bus but many times I have visited theatres and visitor attractions and I can prove I qualify for seniors discount.

In that case, and as it doesn't cost anything, I would definitely renew it.

If you're sure you never want to drive again, and if it costs money to renew, I wouldn't bother. Surely you could use your old driving licence for ID purposes, it still shows who you are, regardless of it being out of date.

We have needed a lot of ID for my mum over the last year, and it has always had to be in date, be it a passport, a driving licence, a blue badge or a bus pass. Out of date was never accepted.

I’d renew it just for ID. Also handy if you needed to move a relatives car or similar. I can’t think of any downside to renewing it.

An expired driving licence cannot be used for ID purposes in banking and financial transactions nor can it be used for any Government purposes. Apparently they can be used for voting ID purposes though.

It doesn’t cost anything. Just thinking it may not be the right thing to do. I can remember being told I couldn’t open a savings account for a grandchild because his passport was just a short time out of date.
