temporary permit

Limited duration license

A temporary permit is official authorization granted for a limited time, allowing someone to do something that would otherwise be prohibited or regulated.

Unlike permanent licenses, temporary permits expire after a set period: The city issued a temporary permit for the food truck to operate during the festival.

Common contexts include construction, parking, work visas, and special events.
