Refers to a portable, digital record that captures a learner's achievements, credentials, and experiences.  The record (a detailed portfolio) can follow the learner across various educational institutions, educational and training programs, workplaces, and even countries. It aims to make learning portable and verifiable, allowing for easier transitions between educational settings and the workforce.

An example is UNESCO’s Learning Passport, which helps displaced students or refugees carry evidence of their learning achievements.
