Never rush a passport or license renewal again.

Many countries require 'at least six months remaining' on entry, so a passport effectively becomes unusable months before it actually expires. You can't just track the date on the document — you need to track the date it stops being useful.

Kigen starts nudging you about a passport 180 days before its printed expiry, so you discover the problem long before you're at the airport gate or staring at a travel itinerary.

In many places a driver's license expires around the holder's birthday and can be renewed within a window of one to two months before that. If the birthday window collides with a trip, renewing becomes a logistics puzzle.

Kigen sends a two-step reminder for licenses — 90 days and 30 days out — and can cross-check against the family's shared calendar so you spot the conflict early.

Passport photo pages and license fronts both have clearly printed expiry dates. Kigen extracts them automatically from a photo, so you never have to type a date and never make a one-digit mistake.

• Passport: 'Date of expiry' on the photo page
• Driver's license: 'Expires' on the front
• Residence card / national ID: expiry on the front

Couples and families end up with passports that expire at staggered dates. A common pitfall when planning international travel is realizing one family member's passport won't be valid long enough. Kigen lets you see every family passport and license on one screen, sorted by 'expires next'.

Passports and licenses combine your face with strong identifying details. Kigen runs all document analysis on-device by default, and any image stored locally is protected by Face ID / Touch ID and AES-256 encryption. When sharing with family, you can choose to share just the expiry field rather than the original image.
