We analyse the signatures at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of the scotogenic model, when the lightest Z(2)-odd particle is a singlet fermion and a feebly interacting massive particle (FIMP). We further assume that the singlet fermion constitutes the dark matter and that it is produced in the early Universe via the freeze-in mechanism. The small couplings required to reproduce the observed dark matter abundance translate into decay-lengths for the next-to-lightest Z(2)-odd particle which can be macroscopic, potentially leading to spectacular signatures at the LHC. We characterize the possible signals of the model according to the spectrum of the Z(2)-odd particles and we derive, for each of the cases, bounds on the parameters of the model from current searches.
