US/Ohio: Currently valid ID legally necessary to get money from bank?
My wife had a situation with two different banks which would not give her cash back because of an expired drivers license. In the first, she didn't hassle because she was grateful to learn that her license was expired, plus she just went around the corner and used the ATM. But the second involved her neighbor, whose license has been expired for a year or so (she's too poor to own a car) and who does not have an ATM card. Also, neighbor only has the hospital birth certificate, not the official notarized one, so they didn't want to give her an ID even though she had plenty of other identification.
I would think this was just the bank misbehaving, but it was a bank and a credit union. The credit union cited "a new law". I haven't found any evidence of this law on the Internet. Note that I am not talking about needing ID to OPEN an account (that's been since the so-called Patriot Act), but needing one to get money out. Can anyone cite such a stupid law, and who was responsible for it, if it exists?
My question was about law, not bank policy, not what was or wasn't good for the account holder.

they can ask for anything they like to allow you to get out money..........
try going to a check cashing place and using the same argument, you will not get any where either.
As for the out of date ID, it is a quick visit to the DMV to get state ID that is current and would solve the issue.
EDIT then I would say you would need to check your state laws............... but quite frankly if you want to do business with their company you either abide by their rules or go elsewhere.......regardless of it being law or not YOU need to do what they require you [within reason] to get your money, and quite frankly what they are asking it not that much, most normal people have that sort of thing to hand.

You had to have a valid identity so as to open the account interior the 1st place. something does not sound precise with what you attempt to do. all and sundry has some style of identity, whether that's a school identity, a utilising license, assurance card.

The requirement is in the account terms and conditions usually...the one nobody reads. Plus, I think it's a good policy...and so would you if your account was drained by a crook posing as you.
Having a valid ID is not a major hassle.
