I had an expired ID for more than two years and even travelled with it. Nobody cared because I didn't leave the EU.
I was occasionally told that my ID had expired but everyone accepted it anyway.
Idk but I haven't renewed my passport in years since I'm not expecting any travel
Never
but i know that here in France, i don't know if it's the same thing in all the european country
but once your ID is expired it's consider still valid for 5 years, because not everybody is looking at the expiration date of their ID everyday so it's to give them enough time to notice it, and be able to book an appointment to do a new ID and receive it in the time

in Germany if they figure out your ID is run out you need to pay a fine of up to 3.000€
When you say ID what do you mean? Like passport

Nah. I'm from Germany myself and didn't get fined. Just be nice to whoever is in charge of the paperwork, they're people too.

No, the identity card
That's what I said. The article states that the authorities tend to be understanding when it comes to expired IDs because most people won't check their ID on a regular basis and forget. It also says that the usual fine is € 10 - € 40, rather than € 3.000.
You don't necessarily get fined and certainly not € 3.000. That's reserved for people who ignore the authorities repeatedly.
