    Over here you hand it over when you pick up the new one and it gets physically marked (a corner gets cut, typically) to prevent it being used as a duplicate.

    Or you can shred it.

      a corner gets cut, typically

      That doesn’t get rid of the markings on it, which could still be used.

        It doesn’t. But it’s a personal ID card, You can also lie about having lost it and get a replacement.

        All security is mitigation. There aren’t a ton of uses for a second expired ID of yourself in any case. It’s not like an old timey passport where you’d see someone in the movies physically changing the photo and expiration date. This thing is printed right on the plastic with hard to reproduce security measures similar to paper money.
