Residents’ Access Permit

These permits allow residents living on a School Street to access their home by vehicle during School Street operating hours. Proof of residence is required.

If you are already parked on the School Street, you do not require a permit to leave during operating hours.

About permit allocation:

• Each permit requires a separate application
• Permits are digital and issued free to eligible applicants
• Permits remain valid until the 31 July in the current school year

Before you start

You will need:

• A MiPermit account (you’ll be asked to create an account if you don’t have one already before completing your application)
• A council tax reference number (you can find this on your bill)
• A copy of the vehicle’s V5C (alternatively you can provide a lease agreement or company car documentation linking the applicant’s name, vehicle and address on the School Street)

Renewing your virtual permit

We will contact you 30 days before your permit expires inviting you to reapply for the next school year (if appropriate).

Cancelling or making a change to your permit

If you change your vehicle or no longer require a permit, please cancel your existing one via the ‘manage permit’ section. Please reapply for a new permit if required.

Permit approval

It may take up to 10 working days to review your application. Permits are only valid after you receive approval by email.
