Some parking lots let drivers park for free as long as they register first. Registration tells the location which vehicles are allowed to be there, which helps keep free spaces available for the people they are meant for.
Use the form below to register. It takes less than a minute and needs only the parking location and your license plate number.

Tips Before You Register
- Double-check your plate: A single wrong character can leave your vehicle unregistered.
- Register each vehicle you use: If you drive more than one vehicle, register the one you are parking now.
- Read the signs: Time limits, permitted hours, and restricted areas apply even when parking is free.
- Keep your details current: If you change vehicles or plates, register again.
- Ask if unsure: If you are not sure a location offers free registered parking, contact the property owner or manager.
For Property Owners: Why Offer Free Registered Parking?
Free parking with registration lets a property welcome customers, residents, employees, or visitors while keeping track of which vehicles are using the lot. It can make it easier to spot vehicles that do not belong and to manage all-day or long-term parking. If you would like to offer registered parking at your location, contact us.
