I'm looking for word or phrase that describes documents or credentials that by definition have an expiry date.
Examples of such documents can be:

  • Passports
  • Certifications
  • Licenses
  • Credentials

While I can find no authority to support these, the terms time-limited and time-restricted seem to logically (and semantically) apply.

If you want a colloquial phrase, consider good through (or thru) and good until as adjectival phrases.
