Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How long will it take to receive my permits?

Once we've processed your permits, they typically take 5 to 10 business days to arrive via Australia Post. It's normal for your permits to arrive separately.

If you have not received all your permits in a timely manner, please call us on 03 8290 1333.

What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?

We can renew your permits up to 30 days past the expiry date. If your permits are still not renewed past this date, you will have to apply for a new permit.

Apply for a new permit

Is my permit valid after the expiry date?

No. Permits are not valid for use after the expiry date. A parking infringement may be issued if a current permit is not displayed.

What if I am the primary driver but the car is registered to a company or someone else?

If you want a Vehicle Specific Permit for a car you drive but is registered to a company or someone else, you will have to provide documents that list you as a primary driver. In most cases, this can be done with insurance documents that list you as a driver of the vehicle. Make sure the documents display both your name and the registration number.

If the car is owned by a company, we will need a document listing you as a driver (as above). We will also need a signed letter on a company letterhead stating that you are the primary driver and that the vehicle is garaged at the address the permit will be issued.

Can I use my housemate's Vehicle Specific Permit if they move out?

Permits can only be issued to residents living in the property. If a Vehicle Specific Permit holder has moved, another resident will need to apply for a new permit. The previous resident's permit cannot be transferred.

Apply for a new permit

Can I change my type of Resident Parking Permit?

Yes. You can change the type of a permit at any time, from a Vehicle Specific to a Variable Permit or Variable Permit to Vehicle Specific.

Please call our Customer Service team on 03 8290 1333.

To change a Variable Permit to a Vehicle Specific Permit, you need to return the Variable Permit and provide a document linking your name to the car’s registration.

Remember that if you have two or more permits, at least one must be a Vehicle Specific Permit. You cannot have only two Variable permits.
