That's what I have done as long as the state allows it.

Ive just been making the expiration date be one year later and I'll pick it up correct next year.

Get a copy of the new license

Many  people have expired licenses because the Motor Vehicle Departments closed due to COVID 19 and they can't renew them. MD says your license is good for 60 after the Governor lifts the state of emergency (an unknown date at this point). North Carolina gave an extension, too per one of my NC clients.
