DocuLockExpiry reminders for passports, IDs and licences
Updated 15 November 2026 ยท by the DocuLock team
In short. When you scan a document, DocuLock reads its expiry date and plans reminders on your phone: a passport nine months ahead and again at six, an insurance card a month ahead. Home shows what needs attention. A weekly summary on Monday morning counts what is due. Reminders are planned on your phone, so the server never learns your dates.
How far ahead does DocuLock remind me?
Each kind of document has its own schedule. Travel documents such as passports start early, because many countries require six months of validity at the border. Licences, insurance cards and memberships start closer to the date. You can change the steps for any document, or turn reminders off for it.
What do the reminders let me do?
- Snooze 1 week from the notification, for a document you are already renewing.
- Mark renewed opens the document ready to replace it with the new scan; the new expiry date is read for you.
What is the weekly summary?
One quiet notice on Monday at 9:00, such as 2 documents need attention: 1 expired, 1 expiring within 90 days. Nothing is sent when nothing is due. Turn it off in Settings under Documents.
Where do I see what is coming up?
On Home: a status card says how many documents need attention, then a row of those documents, then a short timeline of the months ahead. In Documents, the By expiry chip lists every dated document, soonest first, whatever folder it is in.
Is my expiry date sent anywhere?
No. Dates live inside the encrypted document. Reminders are scheduled on your phone from the decrypted copy, so the DocuLock service never sees them.

Questions
How early should I renew a passport?
Many countries ask for six months of validity at entry, so DocuLock reminds you nine months ahead and again at six. Check the rules of the country you are visiting.
Can I get reminders for a lease or a contract?
Yes. Any document with an expiry or end date gets reminders. For a document without a date, choose No expiry date.
