Some Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) require specific permits. You can apply for a permit to park in these areas for certain times of the day.
Types of permits:
- Resident
- Visitor
- Business
- Carer
To prove the address where the vehicle is kept within the CPZ area, you must provide the vehicle registration document (for the address you are applying for a permit for) and a utility bill (within the last three months). You can upload these documents during your online application.
New online permit system
We have introduced a new online permit system. The first time you use this system you will need to set up an account before you can apply for a permit. You will not be able to renew your existing permit (issued before 29 July 2019), you will need to apply for a new one and provide supporting evidence.
The new permit system allows you to obtain a virtual (electronic) permit if you apply online. However, if you require a paper permit you will need to email enfieldpermits@nslservices.co.uk. Once paid for, a virtual permit is immediately live so you don’t need to wait for a paper permit to arrive in the post to display in the vehicle.
We operate several permit schemes across the borough which only allow vehicles, either displaying a relevant parking permit or holding a valid virtual permit, to park in a designated bay or zone.
If you have a paper permit, it must be displayed in the vehicle ensuring all written details on the permit are clearly visible through the windscreen, so it can be seen by enforcement officers.
A virtual permit becomes live as soon as a confirmation email is sent to you after payment has been made.
Permits for residents, businesses and carers last for one year and must be renewed after the expiry date. You must purchase a permit for each vehicle registered under your name. Permits are limited to three per person.
Resident permit prices are based on vehicle engine size.
Blue badge holders can apply for a resident permit free of charge.

To prove the address where the vehicle is kept within the CPZ area, you must provide the vehicle registration document (for the address you are applying for a permit for) and a utility bill (within the last three months). You can upload these documents during your online application.
Residents can purchase vouchers for their visitors to park within their CPZ area at restricted times shown on parking signs. They can park in resident permit parking spaces without vouchers outside the restricted times.
There are two types of resident CPZs:
- 1-to-4 hour restriction
- All-day restriction
Visitor vouchers come in books of ten. The visitor scratches off the date and time they begin parking.
A book of ten one-hour vouchers for 1-to-4 hour restriction zones costs £7.50. A book of ten half-day vouchers for all-day restriction zones costs £15.

Amending a permit
