Apply for or renew your resident permit

What you need 

To apply for a resident permit you need proof of your address and vehicle ownership.

Proof of address 

We’ll try to confirm that you live in Haringey through our council tax records and electoral register.   

If this fails, you must upload or post one of these proofs of your address: 

• signed Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement

• letter from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) signed and recently dated 
• signed Housing Association or Council Tenancy Agreement 
• driving licence photo identity card showing your controlled parking zone (CPZ) address 
• letter of completion from your solicitor confirming your address is where you live 
• your Council Tax reference number – this is shown on your bill or in your online My Account 

Proof of vehicle ownership 

You must upload proof that clearly shows:

• your name as the vehicle owner or sole user
• your address within the CPZ where the vehicle's kept

This can be: 

• a vehicle log book (V5C)

• confirmation of your vehicle registration details plus a bill of sale on headed company paper

If you use a company car, you must upload:

• the log book (V5C) or hire agreement
• company car details from your employer on headed paper saying you're the only person who uses the vehicle and it’s kept at your address

After applying or renewing

After applying for, or renewing, a resident permit you can park in your CPZ right away. While we process your application you will not get a parking ticket.

Processing your application takes up to 10 working days. You'll get an email letting you know if your application's approved.

If your permit is not approved, we’ll let you know why and if we need more information. A rejected application means you can no longer use the permit to park in the CPZ and may get a parking ticket if you do.
