Step by step

How RenewOS handles your passport expiry reminder

  1. 1

    Add each family member's passport once

    Create a person for yourself, your spouse and your children, then attach a passport to each. Ownership is explicit — you always know whose document you're looking at.

  2. 2

    Get the 1-year heads-up

    Passport renewals take weeks and many countries require 6+ months of validity for visas. RenewOS flags the renewal window a full year out, then follows with the 90/30/7/1-day ladder.

  3. 3

    Renew and move on

    Mark it renewed, enter the new expiry, and the whole schedule resets. The old passport's dates stay in history — useful when filling visa forms that ask for previous passport details.

Questions

About the passport expiry reminder

Can I track passports for my family members?+

Yes. One account tracks items for multiple people with clear ownership. This is one of RenewOS's most-used features for parents.

Why a 1-year reminder for a passport?+

Many visa applications require 6 months of validity beyond travel dates, and re-issuance can take weeks. The 365-day heads-up gives you room to plan, then 90/30/7/1-day reminders keep it urgent.

Can I attach the passport scan?+

Yes — PDF, PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 20 MB. Attachments live in private storage and are only accessible through signed, short-lived URLs tied to your session.

Attachments in private storage, signed short-lived URLs, no public buckets.
