Extend a Resident Parking Permit
Parkausweis für Bewohner verlängern
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
If your current resident parking permit (Bewohnerparkausweis) is valid for a maximum of 1 more month, you can apply for a reissue (colloquially "renewal"). You will then receive a newly issued resident parking permit that becomes valid immediately after your previous permit expires.
• A resident parking permit allows you to park (free of charge) in the approved parking zone for the duration of the permit period. However, it does not entitle you to a parking space.
• You will only receive a single resident parking permit for one motor vehicle (for example, a car or motorcycle) that is registered in your name as the registered keeper or that you can demonstrate you use permanently.
• The resident parking permit is valid for a maximum of two years. If necessary, you can have the resident parking permit changed, or receive a replacement in case of credible loss (see "Further information").
Process
1. Submit an application for reissue ("renewal") of a resident parking permit. You can do this online, alternatively in writing by post, or, in exceptional cases, in person at the district Bürgerämter (citizens' offices) of the parking zone.
2. Pay the fee directly in the online application. If you submit the application in writing, you will receive a fee notice with a request for payment.
3. The authority reviews your application. You will then receive the parking permit by post.
