PASSPORT EXPIRY REMINDERS

Notice an expiring passport before the trip.

Track passport expiry dates for your family and receive calm, timely reminders on your iPhone with ReadyLife.

THE SHORT ANSWER

ReadyLife keeps passport expiry dates beside the people they belong to. After you review the date extracted from a scan or photo, the app can show upcoming expiries and schedule local reminders—without uploading the passport to a ReadyLife server.

01

Every passport together

See the household in one view instead of checking several drawers, albums and calendars.

02

Dates suggested on-device

ReadyLife can recognize an expiry date on your iPhone, with a review step before it is saved.

03

Calm local reminders

Choose reminders that give you time to check renewal options before a document becomes urgent.

01

A valid-looking passport can still disrupt a trip.

The expiry date printed in a passport is only part of the planning picture. Some journeys require validity beyond the date you expect to return, and renewal processing times can change. Discovering that problem during check-in—or a few days before departure—is exactly the kind of avoidable stress ReadyLife is meant to reduce.

A useful reminder gives you time to investigate. It should not pretend to know the answer for every country, traveller and itinerary. ReadyLife keeps the date visible and prompts you to check while there is still room to act.

02

One overview for the whole household.

Family travel often means checking several passports at once, including children’s passports that may have different validity periods. ReadyLife groups each passport with its owner and shows documents that are approaching an important date.

That makes a regular household check much simpler: open one view, confirm that everyone has a current document, and focus on the passport that actually needs attention.

03

From passport photo to a date you can act on.

  1. Add the passport. Scan it, choose an existing photo, or import a file.
  2. Confirm the owner. Assign the document to the correct family profile.
  3. Verify the expiry date. Compare ReadyLife’s on-device suggestion with the printed passport.
  4. Allow notifications. ReadyLife can then schedule reminders locally on the iPhone.
  5. Check the official requirements. When the date is approaching—or when planning travel—confirm the latest rules with official sources.

Notification previews can be configured to reveal less detail. The vault itself remains locked behind device authentication.

04

A reminder is a prompt, not travel advice.

ReadyLife does not determine whether you may enter a country, board a flight or transit through another jurisdiction. Those decisions depend on official rules and your specific circumstances. Always consult the relevant government and carrier information before travelling.

Keep the physical passport safe and check it for damage as well as the expiry date. A digital copy can help you retrieve details, but it does not replace the original document at a border.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Good to know.

Can ReadyLife scan the passport expiry date?

ReadyLife uses Apple system frameworks and, when available, Apple Intelligence to suggest useful fields on-device. You should always compare the suggested expiry date with the passport before saving.

Will reminders work without an account?

Yes. Reminders are scheduled locally on your iPhone. ReadyLife does not need an account or a server copy of the passport to notify you.

Does the app know every country’s passport validity rule?

No. Validity requirements depend on citizenship, destination, transit route and current official rules. ReadyLife tracks the date you save; it does not decide whether a passport is valid for a specific journey.

Can I track passports for children?

Yes. You can create a profile for each family member and assign the appropriate passport to that person. You are responsible for having authority to store another person’s information.
