Staff and Members' Guide to Parking Permits (MiPermit)

Staff and Members' guide to the Mi Permit system

If staff do not have a virtual parking permit account your line manager will need to email parkingservices@tendringdc.gov.uk confirming your location and whether or not you need to park in any other areas around the district for work purposes.

Parking Permit for Tendring District Council Car Parks

Parking permits are now virtual. You do not need to display anything in your vehicle. The enforcement officers who patrol our car parks do so using hand held computer terminals. As your registration number is entered into the terminal a message is displayed advising the officer of the amount of valid parking time on your account (365 days).

For this reason you must ensure that the registration number listed on your account is correct for the vehicle you are using. You can change your vehicle registration as often as necessary but you may only have one registration attached to your account.  

You will receive an email explaining that you have now been set up with a MiPermit account.  You will also be given a PIN number which you will need when logging into your MiPermit account. In this email there will be a link to https://secure.mipermit.com/tendring which will allow you to alter your permit as and when you need to.

Once you have clicked on the above link, you will be directed to the following page, where you will need to enter your council email address and PIN number.

After logging into your account you will see on the left hand side a list of pages required for changing any of your details.

To change your registration

To change your registration on your permit you will need to click the link ‘Manage Virtual Permits’ then ‘Staff Parking Permits’:

We have some car park specific permits. Staff permits may only be used during your working hours. Some examples of these permits are as follows:

Members have a staff permit which allows you to park on all Tendring District Council car parks excluding Agate Road (Clacton), as this is a very small seafront car park.

You will also be able to edit your registration on this page should you need to change it at any time by simply clicking on the orange ‘Edit Registrations’ button, taking you to the following screen:

From here you are able to delete the current text, and change it for your new registration details (you must make sure there are no spaces) and simply click ‘Save Details’

Once saved, your details will be updated and your permit will then have changed for the officers to see on their terminal.

Changing your PIN
