Medical Permit

You can apply for a Medical Permit if you’re a provider who makes care visits to someone at their home. You must be either:

• a registered healthcare provider for example doctor, nurse, health and social care service personnel and community care personnel operating through either Bristol City Council or the NHS.


• a care provider registered with the Care Quality Commission


• any other provider who is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council

The permit is digital, you don't need to display anything in the vehicle.

You can have two vehicles registered to each permit but only one vehicle can use each permit at any time. You will need to allocate a vehicle to a permit in the MiPermit portal.

The permit will be valid for 12 months then you will need to renew it.

You’ll need to upload:

• a confirmation of employment letter on headed paper from your employer confirming that you (the named carer) provide care in the home.


• photograph or scan of the front and first inside page of your vehicle registration certificate (V5c) / vehicle logbook or lease agreement for vehicle 1


• confirmation that your vehicle is insured for business use. A statement about this can be included in the confirmation of employment letter for vehicle 1


• photograph or scan of the front and first inside page of your vehicle registration certificate (V5c) / vehicle logbook or lease agreement for vehicle 2


• confirmation that your vehicle is insured for business use. A statement about this can be included in the confirmation of employment letter for vehicle 2
