When you apply for a new permit, you need to give proof of where you live and who owns the vehicle.
When you renew a permit, you will be asked for new documents if it has been more than three years since you last provided proof of where you live and who owns the vehicle.
Please make sure you send us clear copies of the documents needed and do not send the originals. We accept no responsibility for original documents sent with applications.
We may ask for extra proof if we are unable to accept any of the documents you send. For example, we are unable to accept the V5C, section 2 (new keeper's slip), as proof of vehicle ownership. We can only accept the full updated V5C document. Please see the list under proof of vehicle ownership, below, for more details.
You can send your supporting documents through the post or by email to parkingservices@ealing.gov.uk (a clear picture taken with a smart phone is accepted).
