Expired documents cost you time, money and the occasional very bad morning. Valido keeps your ID, driving licence, insurance and certificates in one place — and tells you well before any of them lapses. SCAN IT, AND THE DATE FILLS ITSELF Photograph a document with the built-in scanner. Valido detects the edges, straightens the page, and reads the expiry date off it automatically. You confirm — you don't type. REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE IN TIME By default you're reminded 60, 30 and 7 days before a document expires. Change those intervals to whatever suits you, per your own schedule. Renewals take time; the point is to hear about it while you still have some. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No cloud. Valido makes no network requests at all — your documents and their photos never leave your device. Sensitive documents can be locked behind Face ID, so they stay closed even if your phone is open. BUILT FOR REAL PAPERWORK • Several photos per document — front, back, and every page that matters • PDFs too, not just photos • Categories for ID, vehicle, insurance, professional and everything else • Search across everything, pin the ones you reach for most • Archive what's expired without deleting the record • Export a full backup as a single file, whenever you want • English, Spanish, French and Romanian, with dates in your own format Valido is a wallet for the documents you can't afford to let lapse — and a reminder that arrives while there's still time to do something about it.
