Also, how would that work on things like birth certificates?

So then I’d be curious. Does their drivers license show it expiring on the 28th or 1st?

My driver's license (Dutch) doesn't expire on my birthday but 10 years after the date it was issued. If it were issued on the 29th of februari, it would expire on March first since it would be valid on the 28th but not on the 1st.

Most in America expire on your birthday in X number of years even if the date of issue is a different day.
