ID card always expires to ensure that holder still exists and the information associated are up to date, and also to ensure if an ID card disappears and leaves the holder it can only be unaccounted for a limited period of time.

This defaults back to manual check periodically - ID expiration forces that manual process. This may mean that a human logs into 2 or 3 systems to look for a warning messages popping up, and press another button into a different system for the card to approve.
