How recent must IDs be to be acceptable?

  1. Issued within the past 3 years

  2. Issued within the past 4 years

  3. Issued within the past 5 years

  4. Issued within the past 6 years

The correct answer is: Issued within the past 5 years

IDs must typically be issued within the last few years to be considered valid. Option A is incorrect because 3 years may be too short of a time frame for an ID to remain valid. Option B and D are incorrect because 4 and 6 years may be too long for an ID to still be considered current. Option C, issued within the past 5 years, is the most reasonable and common standard for the validity of an ID.
