Renewing a permit
You will be sent a reminder and renewal form when your permit is due for renewal.
Renewal of the permit is the responsibility of the permit holder. Your permit will not renew automatically.
Change of vehicle?
Return your current resident's permit to Customer First with proof of your new vehicle.
The proof would need to show that the new vehicle is held at your address (e.g. Insurance Document).
If you do not have your permit to return, you may incur an additional cost.
While the amendment is being made scratch cards need to be used within the vehicle to ensure it is parked legally and prevent any Penalty Charge Notices from being issued.
Change of address?
Contact Customer First to advise us of your change of address.
If your new residence is situated within the same zone, we need to update your details on our system to ensure your renewal is sent to the correct address. If your new property is situated within a different zone, you will need to return your current permit to Customer First with proof of your new address, so that an amendment can be made to your permit to ensure it is valid for the correct zone.
If you move properties and no longer require a Resident's Permit, you will need to return your current Residents Permit to Parking Services with a cover letter.
On receipt of the returned permit a refund can be issued for any FULL months remaining on the permit.
