Hello I have oath schedule and my ID are expired.

Passports and PR card are valid but Drivers License and State ID are expired.

Is it ok to just present expired ID ?
Or should I postpone oath till I receive my renew IDs ?

Thank you

I think you should be fine since you already have two valid ones and others would be extra ids so just in case keep them all with you during the ceremony. In my own case I presented my valid PR and health card as my two ids, however there are applicants that said they used their foreign passports as their ID and it is also mentioned in the oath ceremony invitation as well as their website that it is acceptable to use foreign ids as long as they are government issued. Here is the quote for your reference.

"foreign ID documents must be government-issued, Canadian ones don’t need to be government-issued"

Hope this helps.
