The Shawty Pass is yet another trend that has gotten a lot of traction on the app, and many users are spending their free time creating them online and printing them out.
Think of the Shawty Pass as a driver's license for TikTok, except there's no real identifying information on it.
There are few rules when it comes to having a Shawty Pass, but the more creativity employed, the better. Many of the passes that have gotten attention online have featured neon backgrounds, preset patterns, and shadows behind photos.
The passes feature the user's name on the top in bright, bold text. In the middle of the card is a photo of the user, which can be silly in nature, a meme, or an actual headshot.

Underneath the photo, some pass holders have put their heights, weights, jobs, nicknames, and other social media information. Others have used the space at the bottom of the card for inside jokes, references to their friend groups, scannable barcodes, or information about their TikTok feeds.
The back of the pass is also a free space that people have used to put funny quotes on. The final must-have for the card is to add what "Shawty level" each user is. Many just write "Max Shawty."

Aside from having one to show off online, there's no real purpose to the Shawty Passes. But, because making them isn't an easy task, having a Shawty Pass is somewhat of an exclusive thing. Those who are experts at creating Shawty Passes have charged other users to make them.
Once users have made their passes, they make a TikTok featuring the song "Shawty Check" by Canned.Gravy.
