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 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.

What you need to buy paper visitor vouchers

Parking account

You must log into your parking account to buy vouchers. If you don't have one, create one now. For registering you will need to:

  • give an email address
  • create a password
  • click the confirmation link sent to your email (this may take a few minutes).

Proof of address

You only need to provide proof once but if you change your address, you will need to provide proof of your new address to buy paper visitor vouchers again.

Upload photos of your proof in your new parking account the first time you buy paper visitor vouchers.

We can accept:

  • council tax, energy, water, or landline phone bill dated within the last three months
  • driving licence
  • tenancy agreement
  • Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) letter dated within the last six months.

Make sure when you scan or take a photo of your documents that they can be clearly read and we can see the whole document.

Visitor vouchers are a type of parking permit. You only need to get authorisation once.

  1. Once logged in click 'apply for a permit'
  2. Move down to the box that says 'Permit type: Visitor Vouchers - Authorisation request'
  3. Fill in what you need and upload your proof of address.
