Re: Application for parking permit

Dear Sir or Madam,

I ask you to process this application and to let me know whether any further evidence is needed, such as proof of address or a copy of the vehicle registration document. Please send me written confirmation.

Yours faithfully,

What to look out for

  • You normally have to be resident at the address to qualify, and to be able to prove it.
  • If the vehicle is registered to someone else, such as a lease or company car, extra evidence is usually required.
  • Councils often limit the number of permits per household, and some operate a waiting list.
  • Check the annual charge and the renewal date, and set a reminder so the permit does not lapse.

FAQ

Do I need to send documents with the application?
Often yes, such as proof of address or the vehicle registration document. This letter asks the council to confirm exactly what is required.
Can I apply for a visitor's permit too?
Yes, put that in the type of permit field. A registration is not always needed for visitor permits, but fill it in if you know it.
