RICA, licences and passports: the expiry dates that catch you out

Expiring documents are quiet problems. There's no consequence at all — until the day at the airport, the roadblock, or the branch counter.

The usual suspects

• Passports (many countries require six months' validity)
• Driver's licence cards and vehicle licence discs
• Roadworthy certificates
• RICA and proof of residence records tied to your SIM and accounts
• Short-term insurance and medical aid renewals

How Centris helps

When you upload a document, Centris reads the expiry date off the page and starts watching it. You get alerts ahead of time, a dashboard of what's coming up, and a weekly email so nothing sits in the blind spot. For documents that don't print an expiry date, you can set the renewal period yourself.

Compliance stops being a memory exercise.
