No, static QR codes do not expire. QR codes can be scanned by a smartphone camera to access information or take a specific action, such as visiting a website. Static QR codes are codes that remain unchanged and always lead to the same destination, such as a website or a specific piece of information.

Unlike dynamic QR codes, which can be edited and updated to change the destination they lead to, static QR codes remain the same forever. This means that once a static QR code is created and printed or displayed, it will always lead to the same destination, even if the code is scanned months or years later.

However, it is important to note that the information or destination linked to a static QR code may change or become inaccessible over time, even if the QR code itself remains unchanged. For this reason, it's a good idea to regularly check the destination of a static QR code to ensure that it is still accurate and up-to-date.
