Visitor parking permits in Scarborough and Whitby

Apply for parking permits for guests visiting your home in Scarborough or Whitby.

Important
New permit application system

We have a new online system for permit applications. You will need to make an account in our new system because your old log in details will not work.

New applications

If you are making a new permit application, you can create an account and use the new system.

Existing permits

If you already have a physical permit, you do not need to do anything. Existing permits are still valid and we will connect them to our new system over time.

If you recently got a renewal reminder email because your permit is due to expire soon, you can either make a new application in our new system or wait until your current permit is connected to our new system and renew it then. We will email you to let you know when you can do this.

There is a two week grace period during the transition between our systems, so your permit will still be valid while you arrange your renewal.

You can apply for parking permits for guests visiting you if your household is in:  

  • the Scarborough Controlled Parking Zone  
  • Whitby's Controlled Parking Zone  

These permits allow parking in the two hour disc and permit holder only parking areas.  

A one day permit will allow your visitors to park all day.

Price

  • £10 per pack of 25 credits

Credits are automatically deducted from your balance each time a visitor permit is used.

Apply online

You need to have an account to apply online.  

If you already have a resident account and a valid resident permit for your zone, you do not need to upload evidence of your address again.  

If you do not already have an account, you need to create one to apply for your visitor permits. You will need:  

  • the vehicle registration for the vehicle your guests will be using  
  • a copy of your council tax bill  
  • a copy of your driving licence showing the address you are applying for
