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.
