Apply for a car park permit
New parking permit system
A new online parking permit system went live in September 2023, offering drivers more control and flexibility, as well as providing reduced waiting time for renewals and new applications.
You can apply for or renew a permit through the NSL-Apply permit system. You will not receive a physical permit as all permit information will be stored online with Civil Enforcement Officers having access to all valid permit information electronically.
Making changes to your permit
If you have a Car Park permit and need to make changes to your permit, such as changing your vehicle or adding a new or temporary vehicle, prior to your permit expiring, please follow the car park permit user guide (PDF.)
How to switch between multiple vehicles
You must ensure that the vehicle parked in the designated car park or area is active on your account by ticking the primary vehicle box, if you have more than one vehicle on your permit.
The permit holder will be responsible for ensuring that only one vehicle is active on the permit at any one time. The permit must be valid for the vehicle when it is parked in the relevant car park/area as specified by your permit.
You can change this at any time but failure to do so could result in a PCN.
If you have any questions or concerns, please view the car park permit user guide (PDF) and/or contact us using our Highways General Enquiry Form.
