Applying for a parking permit

• You are registered with the Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP) in zone A or zone B for which you are applying for the permit.
  Please note: if you have recently moved to a new address, you may not be able to apply for a permit right away.
• The maximum number of parking permits has not yet been granted at the address where you are registered. A maximum of 1 permit applies to zone A, and 2 permits to zone B. Please note: existing residents retain the right to their 2nd or 3rd resident parking permit as long as they do not move and renew their parking permit in time.
• You live in an independent living space (you do not share the kitchen and bathroom).
• The registration certificate of your car, motorcycle or microcar is in your name or you use a lease car.
• You are not registered in the Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP), but you can demonstrate that you work (= economically bound) and live in Leiden. Then you can apply for a maximum of one resident's permit per address.

A parking permit costs money.

When will I not receive a resident's parking permit?

• Residents must park on their own property in the case of new construction and a change in function of a building. In order to prevent extra parking pressure in the area, (new) residents of new buildings, changes in function, room dividers and division of residential units are not entitled to a resident, visitor and car-sharing parking permit. This applies to homes built or to be built after October 2, 2019.
• In certain areas, residents cannot obtain a resident and visitor parking permit. This concerns the Lammenschansdriehoek – the area bordered by Lammenschansweg, the railway, Kanaalweg and Plantijnstraat – and the site of De Raad Vastgoed (Auction site) – the area bordered by Lammenschansweg, Aprikozenweg, Ananasweg and Perzikweg.

Would you like to know whether you can still apply for a parking permit at your address? Then contact the municipality.

If you have two resident parking permits in zone A or three resident parking permits in zone B, you can keep these permits as long as you continue to live at this address and pay the renewal on time.
