good pointWell, I could still get my license if a relative still lived at my old address. Not that I'm recommending that.
Then you will not get the new license in the mail.... I will not jump thru nonsense hoops and take bills etc. to get a star on my license. There is no requirement for ID on a plane to validate an address. There is no extra validation if I simply renew an not star license.
That's fine. In my state our Secretary of State has tried to emphasize that people with a valid passport don't need to bother with this. For practical purposes, it's really for those who want to fly domestically (or access certain federal buildings, etc) who don't have, don't want, or don't want to carry a passport or passport card.
I have a valid passport, so I've no need for a star on my license either. But when my license is up for renewal, I'll probably do it. I can easily prove my address, so it's no big deal to me. Then I'll have two acceptable forms of ID for domestic air travel just in case. That way if one is up for renewal there's a good chance I'll still have my other one ready if needed. For example when I apply to renew my passport, there is a period of time when the old passport is no longer valid due to submission of the renewal application, and the new one has yet to be received.
