Change of vehicle
Return your current resident's permit to us with proof of your new vehicle.
The proof needs to show that the new vehicle is held at your address. For example an insurance document.
If you don't have your permit to return there may be an additional cost.
While the change is being made you need to use scratchcards in your vehicle to make sure it is parked legally and avoid any penalty charge notices.
Change of address
Contact us to advise us of your change of address.
If your new address is in the same zone, we need to update your details on our system to make sure your renewal is sent to the correct address. If your new address is in a different zone, you will need to return your current permit to us with proof of your new address, so that an amendment can be made to your permit to make sure it is valid for the correct zone.
If you change address and don't need a resident's permit anymore, you will need to return your current permit to Parking Services with a cover letter.
Once the permit has been received a refund can be given for any full months remaining on the permit.
