A PERSON'S IDENTITY DOES NOT "EXPIRE". Each human being is an utterly unique, irreplaceable individual. The old song is right, "There will never be another YOU". Even after death a person's unique identity remains, even if eventually unknown (till sometimes discovered)to all but the Lord.
His appearance or health may change, his address may change, he may change his name, citizenship, occupation or even his sex, BUT HE DOES NOT ACTUALLY BECOME SOMEONE ELSE.

Requests for "Valid photo Identification Cards" are merely really requests for CURRENT mini-dossiers (linked to mega-historic or past dossiers) on the exact place in the social fabric that unique person fills and or filled.

It is as true of even trees or animals as it is of people. There are no two trees of the same exact variety that are or ever were exactly identical in every respect to another tree of that exact same kind. What a challenge it must be to create an infinite variety of the same model!
