What cannot be on a valid primary ID?

A valid primary ID must include essential elements that confirm the identity of the individual. One key factor is that it should not be expired. An expired date indicated on an ID suggests that it is no longer valid for identification purposes, which is why having an expiration date on a primary ID can compromise its legitimacy.

In contrast, elements like a photo, unique identifier number, and the name of the individual are all critical components of a valid primary ID. The photo serves as a visual confirmation of identity, the unique identifier number (like a Social Security Number or a driver's license number) provides a specific way to trace records associated with that individual, and the name clearly establishes the identity of the holder. All these elements work together to ensure the ID serves its intended purpose effectively, whereas an expired date fails to fulfill that requirement.
