Onchain expirations

Passport Stamps do not stay valid forever. There is an expiration date after which a Stamp must be reverified in order to keep it valid. This is true for onchain and offchain Stamps.

Passport attestations

For Passport attestations, there is a key in the schema called Expiration Dates. The value associated with this key is an array of hex-encoded dates, each corresponding to a specific Stamp. There is also an equivalent key, IssuanceDate whose values encode the date when a particular Stamp was verified.

New attestations can be issued with updated IssuanceDate and expirationDate values through the Passport app.

Score attestations

Onchain scores do not have an explicit expiry date associated with them. If you are an integrator, you could use the attestation transaction time as a proxy for the issuance date if the age of the score is important for your application. As a rule of thumb, we recommend expiring scores 90 days after it was created. Offchain Stamps also expire after 90 days.
