For how long is an EDL or ENDID valid?
An EDL is valid for a maximum of 8 years, the same amount of time as a current NYS driver license. As with a regular non-driver photo ID card, an ENDID is issued for 4 or 8 years, or up to 10 years if you are age 62 or over and/or you receive Supplemental Security Income. If you convert from a regular driver license to an EDL or ENDID, the expiration date of your EDL or ENDID remains the same as the expiration date of your current document. If you choose to renew early, the expiration year of your document is extended.
