Temporary resident permit
If you have just bought a vehicle or have recently moved into a controlled parking zone, we'll issue a temporary resident permit
This permit is valid for 30 days, is virtual and valid on your chosen start date after you make payment.
You will need to provide proof of address and/or vehicle ownership which will be used to verify your application. Make sure you have electronic copies (scans or good-quality digital photographs) before you start your application.
If you're not eligible or you are found to have got a permit through deception, your permit will be cancelled and you won't get a refund.

- Council Tax statement

- landline phone bill or mobile bill
