Residents can buy visitor vouchers online using My eAccount. This allows you to manage all your council payments in one place. If you haven’t already you’ll need to register, but the process only takes seconds, and it’ll save you lots of time in the future when you contact us again. Log in to My eAccount here and click the Parking box.
New applicants have to send us a proof of residence so we can check where you live. Examples that we accept can be found on our permit documentation page.
Visitor vouchers
Visitor vouchers are scratch-off permits for residents that allow people visiting your controlled zone to park in a resident bay. We intend to eventually replace these vouchers with an electronic alternative.
To deter commuter parking vouchers may be used for up to a maximum of six hours a day (except all day vouchers that cover the whole day).
Visitor vouchers can be used in the matchday zone when there are additional restrictions in place for matches or events at the Emirates Stadium.
You can view a map of your zone and the hours of restriction here.
Visitor vouchers cannot be used in private parking areas or on any housing estates. More information about parking on housing estates can be found on the Housing pages of this website. If you have previously bought vouchers or have an Islington blue badge you will not need to provide us with any documents when you apply.
How much do they cost?
Vouchers cost:
- book of 20 x 30 minute vouchers - £8.50
- book of 10 x 3 hour vouchers - £23
- all day vouchers - £10.50 each
Please note: all day vouchers are not issued for zones HE, TW, U and Z as the restrictions last less than the whole day.
You can purchase resident visitor vouchers online here.
Visitor vouchers for businesses
In order to facilitate visits by clients, businesses can purchase visitor vouchers to be allocated at the business sees fit. Businesses registered in Islington can buy up to 200 hours of voucher per rolling year. Vouchers are sold in books of 20 x 1 hours and cost £46.
Businesses can purchase visitor vouchers by completing the business permit and voucher application form.
Visitor voucher refunds
Refunds are only issued on the return of full, unused books.
A £21 administration charge will be deducted from refunds for customers who fail to provide adequate proof of residency, or in the case of concessionary applications, proof of age.
Discounted visitor vouchers
If you are over 60 or are getting Incapacity Benefit or Disability Living Allowance you can get double your allocation of hours. In addition all vouchers are charged at half price. Please note: all day vouchers are not discounted and cost £10.50.
You can purchase your discounted vouchers here.
New parent vouchers
All new parents living in Islington are entitled to 40 hours of free visitor vouchers per child so that family and friends can park near your home.
