This document expires June 18th 1984

An expiration date (EXP.) is a set date on which a document is no longer valid. All documents have some form of expiration date, besides Arstotzkan ID cards and diplomatic authorization. Discrepancies regarding the date can be highlighted with the document in question and the date and time in the inspector's booth. Alternatively, the date can also be correlated with the date on the first page of the official bulletin or the rule 'All documents must be current' in the rulebook. If there is a discrepancy, the entrant cannot change the mistake, and to avoid getting a citation the inspector must either deny or detain the entrant (though expired documents do not trigger the detention option on their own).

The format of the date depends on game settings and can be year-month-day, day-month-year, or month-day-year.
