Using the Minster Badge permit
This is a digital permit and no physical permit will be issued.
There's no need to display a permit in your vehicle; our Civil Enforcement Officers use number plate recognition to confirm if vehicles are covered by a valid permit.
The Minster badge discount applies automatically at Pay on Exit and when using Pay by Phone, there is no need to use a separate location code as the discount is linked to your vehicle registration number.
Please allow 10 days before using your Minster badge in Pay on Exit or Pay by Phone.
If you change your vehicle, you must notify Parking Services by emailing parking@york.gov.uk to inform us of your new vehicle registration so your details can be updated. You must allow up to 10 days for the new vehicle details to be added before using Pay on Exit or Pay by Phone.
On-street parking can only be paid for using the Pay By Phone service.
