An expired ID does not insinuate that you "have become someone else." It just may not be accepted as "valid proof."

An example of this frustrating but legally imposed requirement, is that here in Maui County, as mandated by the Maui Liquor Commission, a bartender/bouncer/doorman may not legally accept an expired ID as proof of age, even though it's patently obvious that the presenter's age has not suddenly diminished to under 21.
