The indication that an ID may be expired is strongly linked to the presented ID being past the expiration date. Expiration dates are crucial as they denote the timeframe in which the ID is considered valid. If an ID is presented and the expiration date is earlier than the current date, it unequivocally means that the ID is no longer valid for identification purposes. This scenario directly impacts the trustworthiness and legality of the ID being used for any verification process.

In contrast, while the other potential indicators might raise concerns regarding the ID's validity, they do not directly point to expiration. Conflicting issuing and expiration dates may suggest issues with the ID's legitimacy or authenticity, and an absence of a barcode may indicate that the ID is not properly formatted or may have been tampered with, but neither necessarily confirms that the ID has expired. Similarly, if the ID information does not match the signer, it raises questions about identity but does not ascertain whether the ID is expired or not. Thus, the only option that clearly establishes that an ID has indeed expired is when it is presented past its expiration date.
