Apply for an exemption permit for parking as a tradesman

  • Service description

    If you regularly carry out construction, repair and assembly work outside your own premises with your craft business or other service company and need to use special service or workshop vehicles for this purpose or transport heavy and extensive material, you can obtain an exemption permit for parking throughout North Rhine-Westphalia.

    Craft businesses listed in Annex A or B of the Crafts Code and other businesses that carry out comparable work are eligible to apply.

    Company vehicles must have clearly legible fixed company lettering on both sides of the vehicle.

    The permit only applies to the execution of the trade insofar and as long as no other suitable parking facility exists and therefore does not apply to parking at the company headquarters, at the branch office and in its vicinity.

    Please note the exact content of the exemption permit. When using the exemption permit, other persons must not be endangered or hindered.
