The residents parking permit' service on the Darb platform website and Darb application.

The new system allows customers to submit applications for new residents parking permits, renew expired permits, or nearly expired ones, without the need to upload any documents.

In the event of existing fines, customers are required to pay the same as well as the service fees in order to immediately obtain the permit. The customer would then be immediately notified of the successful residents parking permit application and the system would be updated accordingly.
