This is a trick question, as only your date of birth appears on your driver's license, not your age.

Anyway, relevant Wikipedia quote:
In the United States, a person legally attains a given age on the day before his corresponding birthday, i.e., the anniversary of his birth corresponding to that age. Accordingly, anyone born on a Leap Day legally turns 21 on February 28th, twenty-one years later. Incidentally, this also means anyone in the United States may legally consume alcohol on the day before his or her 21st birthday.
