Renew your residents' or priority parking permit

You can renew and manage your residents' parking permit using our online service, NSL Apply. You can only renew your application four weeks before your permit is due to expire. The option to renew will only appear in your account at that point.

Please do not create a new account, existing customers already have an account set up and your login details will remain the same.

Please ensure you are using the latest version of your device's operating system and internet browser.  If your device isn't up to date, this could cause payment issues.

Our online service will calculate your permit price for you. A renewal is for the same vehicle and starts the day after the expiry date of your current permit.

Please be aware that a surcharge applies to all applications made for diesel fuelled vehicles.  Find out more information about the diesel surcharge, including the pro-rata rate for 6 and 3 month permits.   

Once you have logged into your account, check your documents are up to date. You may need to update your vehicle or household documents to current versions, i.e. annual insurance certificates. If you do not provide up to date documents your renewal may not be approved on time. This may result in your vehicle being issued with a parking ticket. 

If your documents are up to date, click renew and you will then be returned to the NSL Apply home page. Once approved and payment has been made your permit will be activated. You will receive an email to confirm this. Do not park until your permit is showing as active on your account.

More information and guidance about your residents parking permit is available.
