Custom credential expiration for Certificates

Overview

We have rolled out custom credential expiration for certificates and templates, so you can control how long issued credentials stay valid β€” from never expire, to a fixed date, or relative durations from the date of issue.

Key highlights:

  • Set expiry to Never, a fixed date, or relative from issue date

  • Relative options include 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 / 24 / 36 months

  • Configure reminder offsets so recipients are notified before expiry

  • Timezone-aware expiry calculation and scheduling

  • Expiry settings shown clearly in credential/template lists and modals

Why this matters:

  • Give creators flexible expiry rules without manual follow-ups

  • Reduce expired-credential surprises with timely reminders

Getting started:

  • Open a certificate / credential template

  • Configure expiration (Never, fixed date, or relative months from issue)

  • Optionally set reminder offsets

  • Newly issued credentials will calculate and store expiry based on your settings
