This service enables you to obtain seasonal permits for light vehicles to use public parkings in Dubai, according to the code on the parking plate, and without having to settle the fees every time you use the parking. Individuals, companies and governmental entities are eligible to apply for this service.

In 2026, a "Parking Permit" in Dubai is a digital-only authorization managed by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) that allows residents to park in designated zones near their homes without paying hourly fees. These permits are typically linked to your "Emirates ID" and your "Vehicle License" (Mulkiya). There are several types: Residential Permits (for specific RTA-paid zones), Shade Permits (new for 2026, allowing residents to install temporary shades over their reserved spots), and Seasonal Cards (valid for 3, 6, or 12 months in any non-premium zone). All applications are handled via the RTA Dubai app. In 2026, parking enforcement is highly automated via "Smart Parking" vehicles with 360-degree cameras that scan plates in milliseconds; if you do not have a valid permit or active SMS payment, you will receive an automatic fine via SMS almost instantly.
