I needed my driver's license, CCW Permit, and Voter ID card to buy a gun recently!
Here is AZ, our driver's licenses are good until age 65 and the state does not care about your ZIP code unless you actually move. After all it is a postal sorting code and not your legal address. However It appears the ATF does.
I have heard various stories. A small gun shop I sometimes go to does not care (they use my current ZIP). Bass Pro Shop lets me use my old ZIP as it appears on my license. However, I had a hell of a time buying a gun recently from Sportsman's warehouse, although it is partially my fault to not keeping my big mouth shut.
Anyway, my DL and lifetime trailer registrations were two ZIPs old and my 5-year car registration was one ZIP old. There were multiple employees involved in a discussion over whether my bill from a city owned power company was a "government document" when I managed to find an old voter registration card in my car.
I have not seen FFLs so spooked since the Clinton Administration when a dealer make me fill out a Form 4473 for a muzzle loader!

PS. Our frequent ZIP changes in AZ are interesting and both good and bad. Newer ZIP codes tend to lag the state's list of areas needing smog testing by several if not many years. However, a few years back I had my home insurance premiums increase by 50% when I was magically teleported from a safe neighborhood to an average/no-data neighborhood. I changed companies.
