Apply for resident parking permit

If you are registered with your main residence in a  resident parking area, do not have your own or rented parking space (parking space, garage) and have your own vehicle or one that you can prove you use permanently, you can apply for a resident parking permit. The parking permit entitles you to free parking in the designated area. You can apply for the parking permit conveniently online.

You can find an overview of the parking areas in Stuttgart here: Parking management.

Special notes:
Each person receives only one parking permit. If you own several vehicles, up to three vehicles can be registered together on one parking permit.
In justified exceptional cases, the entry "changing license plates" may be made or the registered secondary residence may be sufficient. Please contact us by email at
anparkraummanagement@stuttgart.de.

Since 01.01.2023, users of car sharing companies no longer require a resident parking permit because they can park free of charge in the resident parking areas and at all parking ticket machines in Stuttgart. This regulation is initially valid until 31.12.2026. The regulations on stopping and parking bans remain unaffected. The instructions on parking ticket machines, such as a maximum parking time, must also continue to be observed. You can find an overview of the recognized car sharing companies under  Car sharing (opens in a new tab)

If you live in the Stuttgart-City charging zone, special regulations apply. To be able to park there, you must apply for a special permit:  www.stuttgart.de/parkenincity.

Foreign license plates must be registered in person at one of the citizens' offices in Mitte, Nord, Ost, Süd, West, Bad Cannstatt, Degerloch, Untertürkheim, Vaihingen or Zuffenhausen.

Tip: Enter your e-mail address when applying. You will then receive a reminder email with a direct link to the online application six weeks before your resident parking permit expires.

Online service

You can apply for a resident parking permit online for initial and subsequent applications as well as in the event of a change or loss. Please note the further information on online applications.
