Apply for or renew a resident parking permit

If you have not used this service before, you'll need to set up your online parking permits account.

What you need to apply or renew

You'll need one document that shows your name and address. This must be dated within the last 3 months, such as:    

• a utility or council tax bill
• proof of any benefits or pensions you get
• a bank or building society statement
• a tenancy agreement or solicitors' letter with completion date if you're a new resident

You cannot use a driving licence as proof of address.

You'll also need one document to show that you either own the vehicle or are insured to drive it, such as:

• your Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C)
• insurance document showing the vehicle registration
• hire or leasing agreement
• a letter from your employer if the vehicle is a company car
• proof that you're the named driver on the insurance policy if you do not own the vehicle

You will also need a credit or debit card for payment.

If you cannot apply online, call Customer Services on 020 8921 4339.
