Where can visitor permits be used?
Resident visitor voucher permits allow residents to provide a temporary parking permit to their visitors or guests if they live in a controlled parking zone (CPZ) in Haringey.
Resident visitor voucher permits are valid in:
- resident permit holder-only bays
- permit holders or shared use bays (shared residents permit holders and pay by phone bays)
They’re not valid in:
- in pay by phone-only bays
- in business only bays
- in any other specific use bays (for example a disabled bay)
- on yellow lines
You can only have two concurrent daily visitor voucher permits active at one time. If you require further visitor parking, you will need to activate hourly parking.
Hourly visitor parking permits are not available in the Tottenham Event Day Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) because events taking place at the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium are longer than an hour.
To be eligible to buy a visitor voucher permit, you must be a resident in a Haringey controlled parking zone (CPZ) and be aged 18 or over. Concessionary visitor voucher permits are available to residents who can provide proof they are aged 65 or over, or who are registered disabled or who hold a valid Blue Badge.
If you’re a landlord of a property and not living in it, you can’t buy Visitor voucher permits. You can instead apply for a Permission to Park permit to allow you or somebody working on your behalf to park near the property. See details on the Permission to Park permits page.
Visit our Parking on housing estates page for more information on resident and visitor permits for Estate Controlled Parking Schemes.
How to qualify for visitor permits
The council has introduced paperless virtual permits to replace paper permits.
If you have existing paper visitor parking permits you will be able to continue to use them until their expiry date.

Before you can buy and use virtual visitor voucher permits, you will need to:
If you wish to buy vouchers at a concessionary rate, you will need to first qualify as a resident, then qualify for the concessionary rate.
Qualifying if you have a virtual resident permit
If you have one of the following virtual permits, then you are already qualified as a resident and can buy and use virtual visitor voucher permits:
- a Resident parking permit
- a Resident event day-only permit
- a Resident carer’s permit
- a Resident Blue Badge holder permit
If you have bought a resident permit with a future start date and want to buy virtual visitor vouchers to use now, you will need to complete the resident’s qualification form.
Qualifying if you don’t have a virtual resident permit
If you don’t have or need one of the virtual resident permits listed above, or if you have a current paper resident permit, you will need to apply for ‘resident qualification’ in your online permit account.
If you’re registered to vote or pay council tax, we will attempt to validate your residency automatically and you will not need to supply any proof of residency when you apply for a Resident qualification.
If you’re not registered to vote or pay council tax, or if the automatic validation is not successful, you will need to create your online permit account and upload one of the following residency proofs. Your application for resident qualification will need to be approved.
- a signed assured shorthold tenancy, or the letter of completion from your solicitor in which they confirm the property is for your residency only
- a letter from HM Revenues or the Department of Work and Pensions, signed and recently dated, showing your address
- a signed housing association or council tenancy agreement for your current address
- a driving licence photo card showing your address within the CPZ
Once you’ve qualified, you will be able to buy and use virtual visitor voucher permits.
How to buy and use virtual visitor voucher permits
Once you have created an account and qualified as a resident, you will be able to select and buy the number of hourly or daily vouchers you need.
To use your vouchers in your online permit account:
- Select the type of voucher to activate – hourly or daily
- Enter your visitor’s vehicle registration number
- Select the date (and enter the start time if using an hourly voucher)
- When activating your virtual visitor vouchers you can use the clock/calendar icons to select the start time and date or over-write the time and date boxes
- Activate the voucher
Once activated the vehicle will have a valid virtual permit for the date and duration you selected.
You can only buy 9 visitor vouchers at a time, and this must be either 9 daily or 9 hourly vouchers, you can buy a mixture.
If you need more than 9 vouchers you can repeat the steps, buying 9 at a time, until you have the amount you want.
You can only have two concurrent daily visitor voucher permits active at one time. If you require further visitor parking, you will need to activate hourly parking.
Hourly visitor parking permits are not available in the Tottenham Event Day Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) because events taking place at the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium are longer than an hour.
