We have a very ill sibling on the east coast so trying to get back there sooner vs waiting 3-4 weeks for the new DL card to arrive. Her passport is also long expired and she has no other picture ID.
My understanding is that you can use a valid temporary paper ID in conjunction with a previous punched "normal" ID while waiting for new to arrive ID but that a temporary paper ID alone is insufficient.
