Four ways to begin

Start with what you have.

A document, a photo, a supported ePassport—or just the details. Choose how you want to add a record.

  • Scan a document

    Use your camera to recognize the details on your device.

  • Choose a photo

    Start with a document photo already on your device.

  • Use Passport NFC

    Read a supported ePassport chip with a compatible iPhone.

  • Enter manually

    Type the details yourself. No scan required.

Four starting points.
The same place to keep your dates.

Whichever way you start

  1. Review the details

    Check dates and correct any suggested fields.

  2. Choose your reminders

    Set lead times that give you room to act.

Passport NFC

Scan the passport chip. Review the reminder record.

On a compatible iPhone, RenewalKit can use the machine-readable zone to open a short NFC session, read supported DG1 identity data from a compatible ePassport, and prepare editable reminder details.

  1. 01

    Scan the MRZ

    Capture the two machine-readable lines on the passport photo page. RenewalKit derives a temporary access key on the device.

  2. 02

    Hold iPhone to the passport

    Keep the top edge of iPhone against the passport while RenewalKit reads supported DG1 chip data.

  3. 03

    Review before saving

    Check the suggested name, passport number, nationality, date of birth, sex, and expiration date, then choose what becomes part of the reminder record.

Passport NFC import is a data-entry convenience. It does not certify authenticity, identity, travel eligibility, or current entry rules.

More time to act

Plan before the deadline gets close

New records start with reminders one month and one week before expiration at 9:00 AM. Keep them, change them, or remove them. After you allow notifications, RenewalKit schedules the requests on your device.

For the people you help

Keep each person’s dates clear

Profiles can group records for you, a partner, children, parents, or anyone whose dates you help track. A profile is an organization label inside RenewalKit—not a shared account.

Profiles is a one-time add-on and is included with lifetime Unlimited or Upgrade to Unlimited. It is not currently bundled by the monthly or yearly subscription entitlement.

Your data, explained

Scan. Review. Keep control.

Your scan is temporary. You choose the details that become a saved record.

  1. Scan on your device

    Text recognition runs on your iPhone. Scan images and raw text are used temporarily.

  2. Check before saving

    Review the suggested details, correct anything that needs it, and choose your reminders.

  3. Keep just the details

    Confirmed fields and reminders are saved locally—not scan images or raw text.

iCloud sync

Optional. Off by default.

Optional app lock

Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode.

Analytics choices

App controls in Settings. Website opt-in.

Questions, answered precisely

RenewalKit FAQ

What can I track with RenewalKit?

RenewalKit supports passports, passport cards, driver’s licenses, national IDs, visas, residence and work permits, travel authorizations, vehicle records and insurance, payment-card dates, health and professional records, memberships, subscriptions, contracts, certificates, warranties, and a custom Other type.

How do local reminders work?

RenewalKit schedules notification requests on your device for the lead times and times you choose. You must allow notifications. iOS handles presentation, so Focus, Scheduled Summary, notification settings, and device state can affect when or how an alert appears.

Do I need a RenewalKit account?

No RenewalKit account is required for the core record, scanning, and local reminder workflow. Apple may require your Apple Account for App Store purchases, restores, or optional iCloud features.

Does RenewalKit work offline?

The core local record workflow, on-device text recognition, and already scheduled local notifications can work without a network connection. Purchases and restores, optional iCloud sync, updates and configuration, and optional analytics or diagnostics can require a connection.

Does RenewalKit save document photos or raw OCR text?

Scan images and raw OCR are used temporarily during recognition and confirmation. They are not fields in RenewalKit’s persistent record model, and the app does not save a scan image into its database or Photos library. The record fields you confirm are stored.

What happens when I turn on iCloud sync?

Supported RenewalKit records synchronize through Apple CloudKit under your Apple Account. iCloud sync is off by default. Apple encrypts third-party app data in transit and on server; applicable end-to-end protection depends on Apple’s Advanced Data Protection settings.

How does Passport NFC import work?

On a compatible device, RenewalKit first scans the passport’s machine-readable zone to derive a temporary access key, then reads DG1 identity data from a supported ePassport chip and opens the normal confirmation screen. You review the suggested fields before saving.

Which plans include Profiles?

Current app entitlement code includes Profiles with the standalone Profiles add-on, lifetime Unlimited, and Upgrade to Unlimited. Monthly and yearly Unlimited subscriptions currently provide unlimited document capacity but do not themselves grant Profiles.
