Expiry, notifications and refreshing copies

The wallet warns you before a credential expires; when copies run low you get new ones from the institution.

Topics in this guide

Before you start

  • An internet connection to refresh.

Steps

  1. Step 1: Turn on phone notifications

    Settings → Notifications → Phone notifications. You get reminders before a credential expires, even when the app is closed; the lock screen shows no details.

  2. Step 2: Check in-app notifications

    The bell on the home screen opens “Notifications”. You see a warning 30, 7 and 1 days before expiry; tapping it opens the credential.

    Notifications created on the phone: a revoked document, an identity document ready, a renewed document.

  3. Step 3: Refresh copies

    On the credential page, tap Refresh copies. If a “Copies running low” card appears on the home screen, tap it; the credential opens and you refresh from there.

    Document detail: the document card, its fields and remaining uses.

  4. Step 4: Turn automatic refresh on or off

    Settings → Documents → Refresh copies automatically: when few copies are left, the wallet quietly gets new ones from the institution.

  5. Step 5: If it has expired, get a new one

    An expired credential can no longer be presented: Request a credential from the institution list.

Good to know

  • Copies are only needed for new verifiers; places you have already shown it to are not affected.
  • The institution sees that you refreshed, not where you used the credential.
  • Identity and contact credentials are not refreshed automatically; refreshing your identity credential repeats identity verification.
  • Notifications are created and kept only on your phone; nothing is sent to a server.
  • If the institution declines an automatic refresh, you get a “couldn’t refresh automatically” notification; refresh it yourself when copies run low.
