  • Company letter, including the care needs and name, address of the person being cared for
  • Registration number, colour, make and model of vehicle
  • Vehicle registration document (V5C), sometimes called a log book

What happens next

You will get confirmation of your new permit reference number in My Account, within 10 working days. You can find this by going into ‘My transactions’ and then ‘Parking and travel’.

Permits are virtual (paperless), so you do not need to display anything in your vehicle.

You will be able to park in the CPZ from the start date of your permit, once it has been confirmed in My Account. 

This form should take approximately six minutes to complete.
