As long as the old ID card is not worn and its magnetism is normal, it can continue to be used within the validity period. The new ID card cannot cover the old one. Both ID cards are valid if they have not expired. Generally, both ID cards can be used, as long as any one is used. Only when you apply for a driver's license and issue a passport for renewal, you must use an ID card whose address is the same as your household address.
