licenses. Every driver's license issued under this part, [except for a
provisional license issued under section 286-102.6 which shall expire on the
date of the provisional licensee's nineteenth birthday,] whether an
original issuance or a renewal, shall expire on the first birthday of the
licensee occurring not less than eight years after the date of the issuance of
the license, unless sooner revoked or suspended; provided that:
(1) The license shall expire on the first birthday of the licensee occurring not less than four years after the date of the issuance if, at the time, the licensee is twenty-four years of age or younger;
(2) The license shall expire on the first birthday of
the licensee occurring not less than two years after the date of the issuance
of the license if, at that time, the licensee is seventy-two years of age or
older; [and]
(3) If the licensee is a legal immigrant, the license
shall expire no later than the licensee's authorized period of stay in the
United States[.]; provided further that this paragraph shall not
apply to a person who is a citizen of a country having a valid Compact of Free
Association with the United States and who provides proof of legal presence in
the United States as defined by the director by rule; and
(4) This section shall not apply to provisional licenses issued under section 286-102.6, which shall expire on the date of the provisional licensee's nineteenth birthday.
