Applying for a student parking permit

A parking permit for foreign students allows you to park at a low rate. Your student parking permit comes with detailed information on where and when you are allowed to park.

You can only apply for the student parking permit by appointment at the Municipal Counter. Call 14 043 (or +31 43 350 40 40 from abroad) to make an appointment.

If the application is approved, you pay the permit fee immediately at the Municipal Counter. Your permit is then valid immediately.

Bring to the appointment:

  • your personal proof of registration of your place of residence abroad plus a statement of which persons are registered at this address
  • the proof of registration for your course (for the coming school year)
  • a copy of the vehicle registration certificate in the name of someone living at the same address
