Apply for a resident, visitor, business, contractor, maintenance or student parking permit.
Our parking permits are now digital, meaning you no longer have to display a printed permit in your vehicle. Our enforcement officers scan vehicle number plates to check whether a vehicle has a valid parking permit.
You can buy (and make changes) to a permit via the MiPermit link below, where you will find the full list of virtual parking permits currently available in Leicester.

Frequently asked questions
A digital permit is purchased online and replaces a paper permit. No permit is required to be displayed within the vehicle as our civil enforcement officers can check your details on their handheld machines.
The digital permit provides much greater protection against fraud and should eliminate misuse. As there is no physical permit, your permit cannot be lost or stolen. Virtual permits cannot fall from view so there is no risk of receiving a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) for failing to clearly displaying a permit.
Unfortunately, due to Data Protection we are unable to transfer your data across and you will have to reapply for a permit when your current paper permit expires. Your paper based permit will remain valid until it expires.
If you cannot access the internet please email[email protected] and we will assist you with your application. Alternatively a family member or friend can also apply on your behalf.

If you hold a MiPermit account, you will receive an email advising that your permit is due for renewal around three weeks before the renewal date. A link to renew your permit will be contained within this email.
You will be able to purchase visitor permits via your MiPermit account.
Yes. It is very important to make sure that when using the MiPermit system, that you register your vehicle accurately. This includes using a zero when appropriate rather than the letter ‘O’ and vice-versa. Any errors made when logging your vehicle registration mark with us could result in a Penalty Charge Notice being issued as our civil enforcement officers may not be able to validate any cashless parking stays created.
Blue badge holders are exempt from the annual permit charge. All disabled persons who hold a blue badge who are residents at an address within a parking permit area will be eligible for a free permit for their personal use upon application. The free permit issued to the disabled resident will count towards the number of permits allocated to that property.
Your permit entitles you to park in any available space for permit holders within the zone for which the permit is issued. A permit does not entitle the holder to park where there are waiting restrictions (single/double yellow line/s) or to exceed time limits. Permit holders are expected to use consideration when parking and to not block access ways etc. Permit holders who consistently park without consideration of others may have their permit withdrawn. The issue of a permit does not carry with it any guarantee that a parking space will always be available.
