Apply for a proof of residency permit
Before you can apply for daily digital visitor parking permits you'll either need a valid household parking permit or you must apply for a digital proof of residency permit.
You must apply for a digital proof of residency permit if you're applying for discounted visitor parking permits.
Register for an account in our Permit Portal as 'Customer Type: Resident' to begin.
You'll need a:
- valid email address
- copy of your current council tax bill, if you don't wish for your council tax details to be checked automatically.
Once your account is set up, you'll be able to apply for any permits which are available for your address.
You must pay for permits with a bank card at the time of application.
In many cases your application for a proof of residency permit will be verified on the same day, allowing you to purchase digital parking permits straight away. However, with some applications we may need to assess your application or supporting documents.
