Residents of Berlin Can Now Renew Parking Permits Online

In a move aimed at enhancing convenience for residents, the Berlin authorities have introduced a new online service allowing individuals to renew their resident parking permits without the need for an in-person appointment at the citizen's office. This initiative is part of a broader effort to digitize administrative processes and reduce wait times for residents.

Effective immediately, the online renewal process enables residents to manage their parking permits more efficiently. Additionally, in the event of a lost parking permit, residents can apply for a replacement online. The service also accommodates changes to vehicle registration and license plates, streamlining these processes through the Berlin service portal.

Previously, residents could only apply for new parking permits online, a service that has seen significant uptake. Over the first quarter of the year, the authorities reported that 26,285 parking permits were issued digitally, reflecting a growing trend towards online services with an impressive online issuance rate of 78.6% in 2025.

This shift towards digital services not only benefits residents but also helps alleviate the burden on local citizen service centers. The Secretary of State for Digitalization and Administrative Modernization noted that each digital application reduces the demand for physical appointments, thereby improving overall efficiency within the administrative framework.

As Berlin continues to embrace digital transformation, these enhancements to the resident parking permit system are expected to significantly improve user experience and accessibility for all residents in the city.
