Expiry and Retention period of secure documents
Document expiry
The following document types require you to enter the expiry date shown on the document:
- Passport
- Driving licence
- VIA
- DBS
The following document types do not require you to enter the expiry date shown on the document:
- Birth certificate
- Photo
- Medical record
- Permission slip
The club can also create custom document types and select whether the document type requires an expiry date to be entered or not.
Once a document has expired, you will be notified of the expiry and you should replace the document via your account area with the newly issued document.
A new document upload will again require moderation by the club
Document retention period
By default, secure documents you upload to your account have a retention period of 1 year (this can be changed by the club to 2-3 years).
Once the retention period of the secure document assignment has ended, the secure document(s) will be permanently erased from Pitchero and you may be required to upload the secure document(s) again to your account.
For the avoidance of doubt, the retention period of a secure document supersedes the expiry date entered when a document is uploaded.
