New parking permit regulations to take effect in Munich starting August
Munich, March 2025 — As of August 1, new rules have been introduced for resident parking permits in Munich's Parking Permit Zones. However, a direct and detailed process for applying under these new rules has not been explicitly outlined.
To apply for a resident parking permit (Anwohnerparkausweis) in Munich, you typically need to provide proof of residence in the relevant parking zone with a valid Munich address (Meldebestätigung), vehicle registration documents showing the vehicle is registered at that address, and submit a formal application either online or in person at the local Residents’ Registration Office (Einwohnermeldeamt) or the Department of Traffic and Road Management (KVR – Kreisverwaltungsreferat). Applicants will also need to pay the applicable fees.
Since the new rules were announced in March 2025, there may be modifications to the eligibility criteria, application channels, or required documents. To ensure you have the most accurate and current information, it is recommended to visit the official Munich city website dedicated to parking permits: https://www.muenchen.de/rathaus/Stadtverwaltung/Kreisverwaltungsreferat/Verkehr/Anwohnerparken.html
Alternatively, direct inquiries can be made via the Munich KVR or local citizen service centers.
It is important to note that the new rules do not specify any changes for vehicles of standard length in Munich's Parking Permit Zones. However, vehicles over six meters in length will only be registered for resident parking permits in exceptional cases. This might make it harder for motorhomes to get a permit.
The new regulations focus on the efficient use of parking space and traffic safety, aligning with the "Vision Zero" initiative. Other changes include hotels, like other commercial residents, now only receiving one parking permit in Munich's Parking Permit Zones. Residents and businesses without private parking can still apply for a resident parking permit.
For the most up-to-date information about the application process, permit fees, and any other changes, please visit the official Munich city government website or contact the relevant offices directly.
