Public service parking permit

Our parking permits are ‘virtual’, paperless permits. This means that you will not receive a paper permit to put in your vehicle. Instead, parking officers will be able to check on the system if a car has a valid permit. 

Documents you will need to apply

You must include the following documents as proof of eligibility:

• Employer letter to confirm that you are an employee and that you require your vehicle to carry out your day-to-day duties; and
• Insurance certificate to show that you are covered for ‘business use’; or
• If you work in a school delivering the national curriculum the insurance certificate to show that you are covered for commuting to a permanent place of work

How to apply and pay

You can now apply and pay for all parking permits online through our parking permit system. You can check how we work out the cost of your permit here.
