I'm just wondering if it's actually that simple. Don't they need to cancel it in the background in some system/database? And the cut corner just signifies that they indeed copmpleted cancellation procedures. Kind of like with passports

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding REAL IDs. A friend of mine moved to the States some time ago, he is a conditional green card holder currently. He got a State ID (the one that's REAL ID) in one state. Then he moved to another state, and got a State ID (also the REAL ID one) in that new state. And here's the tricky part. DMV did not take his old REAL ID from the preivous state nor they asked him whether he possessed an ID from a different state. My understanding is that when people move to a different state and apply for a new driver's licene, the DMV takes the old one. But it did not happen in his case with the State ID. I believe this is not right and in fact it is unlawful to possess two REAL IDs. I did a quick Google search, and indeed there is a law that prohibits having two REAL IDs. Also, the DMV employee must check whether the person already has an ID from a different state. However, it does not mention what should be done if the employee did not check that and issued a second REAL ID. My question now is, what do you think would be the best option for my friend? He is a bit scared of going back to DMV because he technically possesses two REAL IDs at the moment which is unlawful, and he is a confitional Green card holder, so he's worried about the implications. But I personally believe something needs to be done about this to prevent future issues. Thank you. Would appreciate any advice. *Here's wording from the law regarding REAL IDs (and also attaching a screenshot): § 37.29 Prohibition against holding more than one REAL ID card or more than one driver’s license. (c) Prior to issuing a REAL ID identification card, (1) A State must check with all other States to determine if the applicant currently holds a REAL ID driver’s license or identification card in another State. (2) If the State receives confirmation that the individual holds a REAL ID card in another State the receiving State must take measures to confirm that the person has terminated or is terminating the REAL ID driver’s license or identification card issued by the prior State pursuant to State law, regulation or procedure.
