# Update Card Expiration Dates via API and Dashboard

You can now update the expiration date on an existing card Payment Instrument. This keeps cards on file current without recreating them or asking the cardholder to re-enter their details.

- **Via API**: Pass `expiration_month` and `expiration_year` (a 4-digit year) together when updating a Payment Instrument.
- **Via Dashboard**: Edit the expiration date directly from the Payment Instrument's detail page.
