Curfew pass explained

A curfew pass or a movement and curfew pass is a document which authorizes public officials or civilians to travel within – or to and from – an area under an imposed curfew.[1]

Trivia

The A 38 pass from the animated film Asterix Conquers Rome, a satire on bureaucracy, is now used to describe it.[2]

In March 2020, there was a partial curfew in France due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was compulsory to carry a self-completed Attestation de déplacement dérogatoire form with you in public, stating a valid reason (including work, shopping or sport) for leaving the house.[3] [4] [5] This certificate was also referred to as a "pass" in the German-speaking media.[6]
