Applying for a parking permit
Do you live in an area where you have to pay to park your car or other vehicle? You can apply to the municipality for a residents’ parking permit (parkeervergunning voor bewoners). If you have a residents' parking permit, you do not have to pay for parking at the parking meter or via a parking app.
A parking permit is registered to a specified vehicle registration number. If you have more than 1 car or other vehicle, you must apply for a separate parking permit for each vehicle.
This is how it works for you
Here is some information from your municipality.
Parking permit for residents
To apply for a parkeervergunning (parking permit), you must meet the following conditions:
- Your vehicle's kentekenbewijs (registration certificate) is in your name. Or you are using a leased car.
- You live in the Netherlands and are registered in the municipality where you want to apply for the parking permit.
- Are you not registered in the municipality? Then you must prove that you live and work in that municipality.
- Your vehicle must meet the milieueisen (environmental requirements).
- You do not have private parking.
In Maastricht's Overig gebied parking zone, you can apply for a maximum of 2 parking permits per address. In the Binnenstad parking zone you can only apply for 1 parking permit per address.
Online
Do you live in an area with paid parking? Then you can apply for a parking permit online through the E-loket (in Dutch) using your DigiD. The parking rates and conditions in Maastricht may vary by district or by zone.
By appointment
If you don't have a DigiD make an appointment at the GemeenteLoket (Municipal Service Desk). To do so dial +31 (0)43 350 4040.
There are 2 parking zones in Maastricht: Binnenstad (city centre) and Overig gebied (other areas).
