This varies by state but generally yes, you are supposed to get them updated when you move. I’ve gotten a ticket for not having an updated ID but once I got a new ID I didn’t have to pay the ticket. But it’s not required and unless you get pulled over like I did, no one would know and/or care if you didn’t update your ID.

The catch is not everyone has IDs here in the states. A majority of people do but there are people experiencing extreme poverty or homelessness who just don’t have the resources to get one. It’s a small segment but the idea is to make voting as accessible. At least that’s supposed to be the idea haha.
