Residents parking permits in the Bournemouth area

If there is a residents parking scheme in your area you can apply for a permit online. If you haven't logged in before you'll be asked to set up an account.

Permit rules

The rules of the permit are:

• each permit only allows one vehicle to park at any one time
• you are responsible for updating your account to let us know which vehicle registration number you plan to use
• if you have a new car, you need to upload the V5C document for the new vehicle, to show that you, the permit holder, owns the vehicle. Alternatively, insurance documents can be uploaded to show that you are a named driver of the vehicle. Please note we do not accept tax reminders or sales invoices as evidence
• if you have a temporary vehicle, for example a courtesy car or a hire car, this can be added for up to 1 week without evidence. For more than a week, you need to upload copy of the paperwork/hire agreement
• enter your car registration details carefully. Make sure you enter the correct registration number. Take care when entering 0 (zero) and O (the letter). Mistakes may result in the issue of a penalty charge notice
• if you apply for or use a permit fraudulently the permit will be cancelled and no refund issued
• make sure you read the full terms and conditions for your chosen permit
