Municipality of Amsterdam: applying for a parking permit

To apply for a parking permit, you must meet the following conditions:

• You are registered at the address for which you are applying for the permit.
• The vehicle is registered in your name or you are the only user of the lease, hire or company car for which you are applying.
• The vehicle may also have a non-Dutch registration number.
• Your vehicle must meet the environmental requirements:
  • For diesel cars: emission standard 4 or higher.
  • For cars running on other fuels: emission standard must be 1 or higher.
• Parking permits are never available for new-build projects. In some areas, instead of a parking permit, you can apply for a waiver for the blue zone (in Dutch).
• You can apply for a maximum of 2 parking permits depending on your address.

Which documents you need depends on your situation.

Your own vehicle

No documents needed if the vehicle is registered in your name.

A lease car or a rental car

Do you lease or rent the car directly from a leasing or rental company? Then you have to scan and upload:

• Copy of the lease contract or agreement, maximum of 1 year old, or a copy of the declaration of the lease, maximum of 1 month old.

If you have a rental car or lease car that is not in your name, please scan and upload:

• A salary slip in your name, maximum of 2 months old.
• A declaration from your employer that states you are an employee of the company, and that you are the only employee with permission to drive the car. Maximum of 1 month old.
• Lease or rental agreement with the name of your employer, maximum 1 year old, or lease declaration with the name of your employer, maximum 1 month old
