Expiration dates on licenses as IDs are kind of funny. You don't stop being you just because your permit to operate a motor vehicle has lapsed.
I could use my passport as backup ID, and when I'm traveling a distance I bring my passport with me in my briefcase, just in case my wallet gets lost or stolen. At least then I have enough ID to get back home without having to jump through hoops.
