Running a home involves keeping track of far more renewal dates than most people realise.

Insurance policies renew. Passports expire. Warranties lapse. Subscriptions roll over. MOTs and tax returns come around every year.

Individually these things are straightforward, but together they create a growing list of dates that households need to remember.

When something is forgotten, the consequences can range from minor inconvenience to unnecessary costs.

Here are five of the most commonly forgotten household renewals:

1. Insurance policies

Home, car, travel and pet insurance policies often renew automatically. Many people only realise this when the renewal notice arrives - or when the policy has already rolled over.

2. Passports

Many countries require passports to have several months remaining before travel. Discovering a passport has expired just before a trip can create significant stress and expense.

3. Warranties and guarantees

Appliances, boilers and household equipment often have warranty periods that expire quietly if not tracked.

4. Vehicle MOT and servicing

Vehicle-related dates are easy to forget until a reminder letter arrives; or worse, when a problem occurs.

5. Subscriptions and memberships

From streaming services to gym memberships, subscriptions can quietly renew for months or years without being reviewed.

The challenge is not that these responsibilities are complicated. It is that they are scattered across emails, folders, calendars and memory.

Doqit was designed to help households organise the documents, information and important dates that sit behind everyday responsibilities, helping ensure nothing important gets missed.
