If I was designing the system, I'd use the same expiration system as drivers' licenses do - you get to keep it until a doctor says you're no longer fit to operate the device (or a judge sentences you to a jail term and adds a firearm ban while you're on parole).In the US, driver's licenses expire and need to be renewed every four years.

It is. The one I've got right now is 5 years, and I've hard some states do longer ones yet.
