Issuing a resident parking permit

It is best to visit the relevant office in person and present the documents there.

In some municipalities, towns and cities, you can also apply for a resident parking permit in writing or electronically. In these cases, you will receive the parking permit by post. Ask your local authority, city or municipal administration which documents you need to send in this case.

Please contact the road traffic authority of the district or large district city administration responsible for your place of residence, the administration of the independent municipality/city or association municipality administration.

• Current identity card or passport with current registration confirmation
• Registration certificate part I (old: vehicle registration certificate)
• Certificate of use if the applicant is not the vehicle owner

  • power of attorney

Further documents may be required.

Fees will be charged. Please contact the responsible office.
