preclearance
Prior official approval
Preclearance is advance approval from an authority before taking an action.
The term appears most often in two contexts: under the Voting Rights Act, certain states needed federal preclearance before changing election laws; in travel, preclearance lets passengers clear customs before departure rather than upon arrival.
We went through U.S. customs preclearance in Dublin.
