Problems Related to Parking Permits

I have just moved to the area.

Address changes update in the suomi.fi system in about three weeks, so applications with the old address are rejected before the data is updated. You can redeem a resident or guest parking permit at the Tampere service point by proving your new home address, for example with a rental or electricity agreement.

How can I authenticate in the suomi.fi system?

Authentication methods include bank credentials, certificate card, and mobile certificate.

I don’t have any authentication methods available.

You can also redeem a resident or visitor parking permit at the Tampere service point. You must prove your residence in the permit area with, for example, a rental agreement or electricity contract.

Can multiple resident parking permits be redeemed for the same household?

Yes. Each person aged 15 or older living in the permit zone can redeem a resident parking permit.

Why is the resident parking permit granted already at age 15, not 18?

Because a 15-year-old may have a moped car.

Can I get a resident parking permit if I live outside the permit zone boundaries?

No, you cannot.

Do I need a resident parking permit to redeem a guest parking permit?

No. Guest and resident parking permits are separate permits, but both are granted only to residents of the zone.

Why can’t a visitor buy a guest parking permit for themselves?

Guest parking permits are intended only for guests of residents in the area. Authentication is done via suomi.fi to confirm the applicant’s home address is within the permit zone.

Can I get a commuter parking permit if my workplace is outside the permit zone?

No. The commuter parking permit is only for people working in the zone.

How can I get a commuter parking permit if my employer’s address is registered outside the zone?

In special cases, contact the Tampere service point. A justified parking need may arise, for example, from the mobile nature of the work (construction, etc.) or work at a client’s home within the zone.

How can I get a commuter parking permit if I don’t have a personal work email address?

The email address does not have to be personal, but only one permit can be applied for per email address. In special cases, contact the Tampere service point.
