I'm getting warnings/penalties for invalid expiration dates and I don't know why...

[Darkunov]

I just bought this, and as I understand the expiration date correlation, the field "EXP" has to be anywhere later today's date. For instance, say I'm playing on the 23th of November, 1982, and the passport expires in december 1982, it shouldn't be a problem.

However, I've had maybe 5 warnings today (in real life, on different days in-game) about the expiration date being invalid, while it is one of the few infos I always think of checking. Sometimes it's even in the next year and I get a warning. What's up with that?

I have run into the same problem several times and I cant figure out why it said invaild expiration. It would be nice if you could review after recieving a citation...

Be very careful of workers. If you notice there is a date on the worker permit and while that date may not be expired, if the worker states (and papers show) he will work a year but his work permit expires in 6 months, this will come up as an invalid exp citation.

Check work paper exp date versus how long they will stay/be working in the country. If playing late in the game or any endless course #4 (where much of the old paper work is consoloated into a single page) check the work pass exp date versus the audio transcript of length of stay. Even though the single form has the length of stay field, attempting to check the work permit date versus that shows no correlation. It will check against the audio transcript however.

However all this being said, I find this type of invanlid entry is a rare occurance.

Also you can change how the YYYY/MM/DD appears on all paperwork in the options menu. Some people find different formats better.

i HATE HATEEEEEEEEEEE processing worker entry.

I see a lot of inverted MM/DD or DD/MM when I play. They are easy to miss.

That doesn't say "Invalid Expiration Date" on the citation, though, it says something like "Invalid work end date."

Is it possible to complete the game without any warning?

No. Jorji Costava will force you into a situation where there is no getting out of getting a citation.

NEVERMIND THE NOOBS:
Identity supplement is a short issue document
If you have more than 1 month for the expiration date that identity supplement is invalid - not expired. It can't have more than 1 month. It's usually 2 weeks tops.

Don't trust noobs - they would end up dead by fire squad in a bread queue.

Hate noobs misleading people.

Sh!t, not only are you necro-ing, but you're also insulting people being a real jerk to newer players.

Noobs and newbs are two very different things though.
