To apply for anything other than a Blue Badge, you'll need to create a permit account online. It only takes a few minutes to set up and you won’t need to do it again for future permit applications or renewals.

You can apply for all permit types through our online services, the relevant links and information are below. Bexley libraries and the Civic Offices can no longer assist with permit applications.

To apply

You need to provide two proofs of identity to apply for a permit. Please have ready proof of residence and vehicle ownership.

Proof of residence

Please provide one of the following (utility bill dated within the last 3 months):

• gas
• electric
• water
• TV licence
• home insurance
• your most recent Council Tax bill will be accepted
• driving licence

Proof of vehicle ownership 

Please provide one of the following:

• your vehicle: a copy of the vehicle registration document (V5C)
• company vehicle: (if registered to the company) a letter of authority on letter headed paper signed by an executive or director, confirming the vehicle details and that you have exclusive use of the vehicle
• leased vehicle: a copy of the agreement which must be with a reputable organisation. Your name and address must match those of the hirer as shown on the agreement. If you change or renew the lease, please inform us immediately and provide a copy of the new agreement
• bill of sale: if you have purchased a vehicle and are not yet the registered keeper, we will accept a bill of sale and allow 1 month after the change of vehicle for you to provide a copy of the V5C

Create a parking permit account

Please enter your vehicle registration correctly and be careful not to mix up the letters ‘I’ and ‘O’ with the numbers ‘1’ and ‘0’.

Once you’ve got an account, you can use it to apply for:

• Residents’ parking permits
• Business parking permits
• car park season tickets
• scratch cards for visitors’ parking
• Dispensation or suspension (permission to park in a controlled area for a time)
