Guest pass

Temporary permission for a visitor’s vehicle, usually requested by a resident.

A guest pass (or visitor pass) lets a vehicle that is not on the resident register park for a defined window — commonly a day, a week or a month. It is normally requested by the resident being visited and approved by whoever runs the property.

Guest parking is where most residential parking disputes start, and almost always for the same reason: the permission is granted informally and recorded nowhere, so nobody can tell a genuine visitor from a second household car that has been parked in the visitor row for five months. A pass with a start date, an end date, a plate and a price answers all three of those at once.
