Double check your parking ticket before paying

We have had some reports of fake parking tickets (PCNs) left on vehicles in Islington and neighbouring boroughs.

If you get a PCN, please check:

  • it has the Islington Council logo, crest and 'for a more equal future' in the top-right on the front
  • the back has instructions on how to pay including the web address islington.gov.uk/pcnpay - if you use this you will see you will see a green band at the top with our logo
  • the back also tells you how to challenge a PCN
  • it has a detachable slip that says "do not pay the civil enforcement officer"

Our PCNs do not have a QR code that you scan with your phone camera to pay. Do not scan any QR code on a PCN.

  • create a password
  • click the confirmation link in the email you get to open your account.

Buy or renew your parking permit

Read the terms and conditions you must agree to before buying or renewing a permit.

Log in to your parking account - this is where you can buy or renew your permit, look for other permits and see details of any permits you already have.

Cost

You can find out how much your permit will cost before applying.

The cost of the permit is based on your vehicle:

  • fuel or energy type (petrol, diesel or electricity)
  • emission levels or battery size.

Permits for hybrid vehicles are the same price as petrol vehicles because they run on both petrol and electricity.
