Körpass

Körpass is a term found in Swedish-language contexts that can refer to a pass or credential related to driving. It is not an official stand-alone document in Swedish traffic law; the official authorization to drive is called körkort (driver’s license). In everyday language, körpass can be used informally to describe a driver’s permit, a temporary permission, or a credential issued by a driving school, employer, or a municipal authority. Because there is no standardized national definition, the exact meaning of körpass depends on the issuing organization and the jurisdiction.

Etymology: The compound form combines kör (to drive) and pass (permit, pass). The term thus conveys the idea of permission to operate a vehicle, but it does not replace körkort in legal terms.

Usage: In practice, you might encounter körpass in contexts such as training programs, fleet management, or community initiatives where a lightweight credential is issued to indicate that the holder has completed certain driving-related prerequisites. Users should verify whether a körpass is recognized legally in their region, and should not rely on it as a substitute for an official körkort where required.
