Transferring or Exchanging permits
Transferring permits
Permits can not be transferred between vehicles. Each time you change your vehicle you will need to cancel your current permit and apply for a new permit for the new vehicle.
Exchanging permits
Permits can not be exchanged. If a first or second Resident parking permit is no longer needed, you are able to cancel it on your account. This will enable you to re-apply for that specific permit slot.

Exemption from a TfL scheme does NOT give you exemption from the Newham emissions based charging scheme.
If you live in Newham and would like to be able to park in a resident parking zone you will require a Resident parking permit.
