WOW !!!! Here we never have to renew our drivers licence! But may be it is different in the US because there your license is usually your ID. We all have a passport here, which we ALWAYS have to carry with us; so that is our official ID! I remember years ago when we tried to buy some new luggage in a department store in New York. They asked for our drivers license to contole our ID; Bernard replied: "hey, what is wrong with a normal passport??"
LOL!!

ps. Our passport has same size as a Mastercard, so it is easy to carry!
