I Registered My Vehicle But Still Received a Parking Notice

If you registered your vehicle for visitor parking and still received a parking notice, there are a few common reasons this can happen.

Common Reasons

Incorrect License Plate Entry
The most common cause is a typo in the license plate number during registration. Even a single character difference means enforcement systems will not match your vehicle to the registration. Double-check your confirmation message against your actual plate number.

Registration Timing
If your registration was completed after the enforcement officer already recorded your vehicle, the notice may have been issued before your registration was active. Check the timestamp on your confirmation against the time shown on the notice.

Wrong Location
Some properties have multiple Location IDs. If you registered under a different Location ID than where your vehicle was parked, the registration will not be visible to enforcement at the correct location.

Registration Expired
Visitor parking registrations have a set duration. If the registration expired before the notice was issued, the vehicle would appear unregistered at the time of enforcement.

What To Do Next

1. Verify your registration details. Open the confirmation email or text you received and compare the license plate, location, and time window against the information on the parking notice.

2. If there is a mismatch, this likely explains the notice. You may still submit an appeal and include your registration confirmation as evidence of your intent to comply.

3. If everything matches, submit an appeal and include a screenshot of your registration confirmation showing the plate number, location, and valid time period.

How to Submit an Appeal

Visit the appeal submission page linked on your parking notice, or see our article How to Submit an Appeal for step-by-step instructions.

How to Avoid This in the Future

• Always double-check your license plate number before submitting a registration.
• Wait for the confirmation message before leaving your vehicle.
• Verify you are registering at the correct Location ID (displayed on parking signage).
• Note the expiry time on your registration and renew before it lapses.
