Municipality of Utrecht: applying for a parking permit

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

• You are registered with the municipality of Utrecht at the address for which you are applying for the parking permit.
• The resident's parking permit is registered by license plate and applies to 1 car.
• The license plate of the car is in your name. Is the license plate in the name of a leasing company, company or your partner? Then read what you need to do under 'What you need to apply'.
• Do you not have a registration number (yet)? Then you may only submit a written application without a registration number if the 'Waiting list 1st permit at address' for your parking district is longer than 6 months.
• Check whether your vehicle is allowed to enter the environmental zone. Do the license plate check.
• There may be no vehicle restrictions (axle load, length) or you have a vehicle exemption for this.
• You may not park a camper/caravan for longer than 3 consecutive days (General Local Ordinance, Article 5:6).

Take extra care if you:

• Share the car with someone else. Read more about car sharing parking permit.
• (Temporarily) have another car.
• Did not pay the parking permit on time and received a parking ticket. The parking ticket will not be canceled (must be paid). You can object to this if you no longer agree.

2nd parking permit or no permit

• If there is sufficient permit space, the municipality will in some cases issue a 2nd parking permit.
• Some addresses receive less or no parking permit(s) at all. These addresses are listed in the Address list exclusion of parking permit(s) due to shared parking facilities (pdf, 954 kB). If you are still eligible for a permit, you will pay the high rate (see 'Costs and payments')
• We deduct each private parking facility (for example a garage or driveway) from the maximum number of parking permits that you can obtain at your address.
