# Track Renewals

***

Use renewals to keep track of anything with an expiry date — your RTO registration, public liability insurance, contracts, licences, or certifications. RTOSafe will alert you when items are due for renewal and show upcoming expiries on your calendar.

***

## Adding a Renewal

Go to [**Renewals**](https://app.rtosafe.com.au/Renewals) and click **Add Renewal**.

Enter:

* **Renewal Name** — what you're tracking (e.g., "Public Liability Insurance")
* **Renewal Date** — when you last renewed it
* **Expiry Date** — when it expires
* **Reminder Period** — how many days before expiry you want to be alerted (default is 30 days)
* **Evidence File** — upload proof of the renewal (PDF, DOC, or image)

Click **Save Renewal**.

***

## How Alerts Work

RTOSafe checks your renewals daily. Alerts only start appearing once you're within your **Reminder Period** — so if you set 30 days, you won't see any alerts until 30 days before expiry.

Once inside the reminder period, the urgency level depends on how much time is left:

| Status      | When it appears                    |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Notice**  | 15+ days remaining                 |
| **Warning** | 3–14 days remaining                |
| **Urgent**  | 2 days or less, or already expired |

<div class="help-hint-content">

For renewals that need lots of lead time (like RTO registration), increase the reminder period so you're alerted earlier.

Alerts appear on your dashboard and resolve automatically when you renew the item to a future date.
