Change of vehicle (including temporarily)

Permanently

If you have changed your vehicle, you must not alter your existing permit.

You must fill in a resident permit form and produce your current permit and driving licence.

You must also provide one proof of residency from the list on the application form and one of the following forms of proof that you own or use the new vehicle:

• we will accept either the new vehicle registration certificate or
• the New Keepers Supplement (V5C/2) and your insurance document or
• a sales invoice and insurance (from a garage or dealers)

Temporarily

We do not give permits to borrowed or shared vehicles except when your vehicle is off the road because of an accident or major repair, or if it has been stolen.

In these cases, we will give you a permit for a temporary replacement vehicle that is not registered in your name.

You must fill in a resident permit form and produce your original permit, your driving licence, one proof of residency from the list on the application form and one of the following forms of proof:

• a letter from the garage or insurance company to confirm the damage or major repair, the dates they will have your vehicle and that you are using a courtesy vehicle
• the vehicle registration document for the replacement or borrowed vehicle, and a letter from the owner saying that you will be the only person using that vehicle and between which dates

You must display the temporary permit and your normal permit in the temporary vehicle.

You can get a resident permit form by:

• downloading a copy of the form - go to How to apply for a parking permit.
