We have introduced digital parking permits for our controlled parking zones (Opens in a new window) in Hull. These permits are electronic and can be verified through the vehicle registration number. It means you will not have to display a physical permit on your windscreen.
The advantages of the digital system are -
- environmental benefits of not producing paper permits
- digital permits cannot be copied or altered
- permits cannot be lost or stolen
- you can change any account details immediately
- reminders will be sent by emails before a permit expires
You will still be able to use your current paper permits displayed on your vehicle’s windscreen until the expiry date.
