We will aim to deliver your permit by post within four to five working days. The permit(s) is valid for a year. We do not offer refunds for unused or partially used permits.
Visitor's permits
You can only apply for one visitor's permit. Visitor permits are not allocated to an individual vehicle, you will need to make sure a valid permit is displayed at all times.
Renewals and replacements
If your permit is due for renewal we will email you five weeks before they are due to run out. If you have lost, had your permit stolen or destroyed you can apply for a replacement.
