Digital Parking Permits via QR: Resident, Staff, and Visitor Passes

1. How Digital Permits Work

The permit issuer sends a signed QR containing the vehicle registration, permit zone, valid-from, and valid-until. The vehicle owner displays it on their phone windscreen or prints it.

2. Enforcement Scanning

Parking officers scan the permit QR to verify authenticity and expiry in real time against the permit database. No phone call or radio check needed.

3. Visitor Permits

Residents request a single-day visitor permit via a web form. The system emails a QR permit to the visitor for display in the windscreen. Eliminates paper visitor pass books.

4. Revocation

If a permit is cancelled, the database flags the token immediately. The next enforcement scan returns "not valid" even if the physical QR is unchanged.
