Digital parking permit

If you are a resident in Southwark and hold a Blue Badge for disabled parking, you can apply for a digital parking permit. The permit is free.

The digital parking permit gives you the same parking benefits as a Blue Badge, while reducing the risk of Blue Badge theft. 

It also allows you to drive through some Streetspace measures within Southwark.

Create a parking permit account

You must provide:

• your Blue Badge details
• the car registration number (either your vehicle or your carer’s)
• a copy of your Blue Badge

We usually issue permits within a day after you've given us all the information and documents we need. If you live outside a controlled parking zone (CPZ), it may take up to 5 days.

You must wait for an email from us confirming your digital parking permit before you park without displaying your Blue Badge.

An digital parking permit is valid for a year. You will get an email reminder to renew it.

The digital parking permit will not work in privately owned car parks in Southwark. It is only valid within Southwark's boundaries.

If you have trouble applying for your permit, you can:
