Apply for a resident parking permit
Having a resident permit does not give you School Streets exemptions. To apply for a School Streets exemption (separately) please see our School Streets exemption page.
To buy a resident permit in Barking in Dagenham you must:
- live in the borough
- have a permit online account
- have your vehicle registered in the borough
- provide proof of residence and proof of ownership of the vehicle the permit is for (see the documents you will need under Step 1 - Create an Account)
Permits are not transferable between vehicles.
If you're not eligible or you're found to have got a permit through deception, your permit will be cancelled and you won't get a refund. You may also be liable to prosecution for fraudulently obtaining a permit.
Resident permits are not valid for parking on/across/over dropped kerbs, you require a dropped kerb permit to park on/across/over your dropped kerb.
