What happens when my passport expires?

AI Verified passports have different expiry policies by tier: **Bronze:** No expiry. Bronze passports remain valid indefinitely unless revoked. **Silver:** No expiry. Domain verification is a one-time check. The passport remains valid until the domain changes ownership or the verification is manually revoked. **Gold:** Annual renewal required. The company registration number is re-verified against the public registry each year. If the company has been dissolved or struck off, the passport is automatically revoked. **Platinum:** Annual renewal required. Full re-verification including compliance declarations. **What happens when a Gold/Platinum passport expires:** 1. 30 days before expiry: Email reminder sent 2. 14 days before expiry: Second reminder + dashboard warning 3. On expiry: Passport status changes to "pending renewal" 4. The badge on your website shows a "renewal required" state 5. The passport remains in the registry but is marked as expired 6. AI systems may reduce citation weight for expired passports **Renewing:** Renewal is a one-click process in the dashboard. The system re-verifies your registration number and updates the expiry date. The forensic hash is regenerated and the badge embed code is updated. **Recommendation:** Set a calendar reminder 45 days before your renewal date.
