About this tool
Track passports, licences, visas, certificates and warranties on one board, with a reminder ladder and renewal windows.
This board tracks the expiry date of every document you own and turns each one into a reminder ladder — typically 90, 30 and 7 days out — instead of a single alarm that arrives too late to be useful. It also dates the day each renewal window opens, using the real rules: an Indian passport may be re-issued from a year before expiry, and a driving licence may be renewed from 30 days before it under section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Add a travel date and it checks passports and visas against the six-month validity rule most destinations apply on entry.

Each document gets several reminders, so there is time to start and time to chase.
It shows the earliest date each authority will accept an application, not just the deadline.
Passports and visas are tested against the six-month and Schengen three-month rules.
Up to one year before it expires, and a re-issue application is still accepted for up to three years after expiry at the normal fee. Applying earlier than a year out is generally not accepted, so a year before expiry is the practical first reminder.
Many countries require a passport to remain valid for at least six months beyond the date you enter. The Schengen area applies a different test — validity of at least three months beyond your intended departure, with the passport issued within the previous ten years. Airlines enforce these at check-in, so a technically valid passport can still stop you boarding.
From 30 days before expiry, under section 15 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Renewing more than 30 days after expiry attracts a late fee, and if more than five years have passed since expiry you have to take the driving test again.
Six months for a vehicle in normal use, and one year from the date of registration for a new vehicle. Driving without a valid Pollution Under Control certificate is a fineable offence, and insurers can ask to see one at renewal.
