Visitors permit

Blue Badge holders no longer need to buy a resident permit to park on their street as displaying a valid Blue Badge is enough.

However, if you regularly travel with friends or family in their cars and will be relying on your blue badge for parking at your destination, we do recommend that you buy a resident permit for your own car to avoid receiving a penalty charge notice for not displaying a valid permit or Blue Badge while you were away from home.

If you change your vehicle and require a new permit, you will need to make a new application along with the relevant proofs and payment. Any replacement permit issued will be valid for 12 months from its issue date. In the case of a change of vehicle you will need to surrender your current permit. The charge is to cover the administration cost involved with producing a replacement permit.

If you currently have a resident permit, you will need to cancel this permit on MiPermit

To apply for a permit at your new address or to replace a permit please visit MiPermit.

A Residents Parking Permit is issued for Resident motor vehicles (Includes LPG or electric vehicles).

• Maximum 2 permits per household
• £40 per permit. LPG or electric vehicles free.
• Two proofs of residency required and proof that you are entitled to drive the vehicle.

Permit is issued for a specific vehicle. If you have a temporary change of vehicle for a period of not more than one week (i.e. a courtesy car whilst your vehicle is in for repair/service or a hire car) you can use your visitors permit.

LPG or electric vehicle owners will need to supply proof that their vehicle uses LPG or electricity.
