Procedure descriptions
Apply for a resident parking permit
In some residential areas, especially in larger cities, parking is only permitted with a resident parking permit. The parking permit can be valid either only at certain times or around the clock. The resident parking permit does not guarantee a fixed parking space.
This system gives residents priority over other drivers when it comes to allocating parking spaces.
Parking spaces for people with disabilities are excluded from this system.
Responsible authority
The responsible road traffic authority
In addition to cities and municipalities, district offices, large district towns or administrative communities may also be responsible for issuing resident parking permits.

Note: The local authorities may make the issue of the licence dependent on further requirements (e.g. main residence, lack of garage). You should therefore obtain information about the requirements from the relevant authority.
