Driving licences which have had their validity period extended are legally valid to the new date, even though the end-date printed on the licence remains unchanged. As the licence remains legally in date it should be acceptable as a form of ID. In the specific case of insurance, insurance companies are aware of the extension and will accept a licence as valid if it is covered by the extension.
