There are 4 resident parking zones in King’s Lynn. If you live in a zone, you will be eligible to apply for a permit.

The zones are:

The permit is for vehicles that will be parked on the street within the residents parking zone. You do not need a permit to park on your driveway.

If your household has more than one vehicle registered to your address, both vehicles will need a permit to park on the street.

If you have regular visitors to your property, you can also apply for an annual visitor permit or up to 365 daily visitor permits per property per year.  However, if you have an annual visitor permit you will not be eligible for both. Once you have registered your details for virtual permits, you can purchase them as and when your visitors require them.

If you are a business within the parking zones, you can apply for a business and a business visitor permit.  You may also apply for one annual visitor permit or up to 365 daily virtual permits per property per year.

What happens next

Once we receive your application, we will review the details you have provided and will either accept your application or ask for more information.

If your permit application is accepted, you will receive an email to confirm this and, if you have applied for a virtual permit, you can park straight away.

If your permit is a physical permit you will need to wait until this arrives in the post before parking in the zone.

If your permit requires further information we will ask you to provide what is needed and you cannot park in the zone until your permit is approved.

You’ll need to renew your permit each year. We’ll email you 30 days in advance of your permit needing renewal, please add no-reply@mipermit.com to your safe senders list to ensure your email does not go into your spam folder.  This is a courtesy email, and it remains your responsibility to make sure your permit is valid.
