    This COVID thing made me carry car insurance for 3 months on a car I didn't own anymore. Mostly because I do not trust MVA drop boxes for tags. I had to wait until they opened locations to return tags so I did not get hit with a possible violation when I removed insurance.
    Or use a title and tag shop like Terry's

    As others have said, your license is still valid for firearms purchases per the ATF. I ran into the the same thing recently with an auction house and solved it by emailing a copy of the June 2010 FFL Newsletter https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/newsletter/federal-firearms-licensees-newsletter-june-2010 along with Hogan's Executive Order. The pertinent section reads:

    There has also been some confusion over whether an expired
    driver’s license can satisfy the GCA requirement. If the law
    of the State that issued the driver’s license provides that a
    driver’s license is valid after the expiration date, either for a
    certain period of time or for a certain category of persons,
    such as military personnel, then the license qualifies as a valid
    identification document for GCA purposes for that period of
    time or for that class of persons. This will not be a common
    occurrence. If you are not certain of the validity of an expired
    license in your State, we suggest you contact your State’s
    Department of Motor Vehicles. If you are still uncertain
    about the validity and acceptance of an expired license for
    GCA purposes, contact your local ATF office.
