In recent months, the digital application for parking permits (P-cards) has been improved with greater automation and enhanced communication with applicants. Permit holders now automatically receive an email notification three months before their permit expires, with clear instructions on how to renew it. Applicants are also notified when a medical certificate is received electronically and when the permit is ready for pickup, all through their inbox on island.is.

Digital option now the most popular - simpler and more accessible

An increasing number of users are choosing to apply for parking permits digitally via island.is. In 2025, more parking permits have been issued through the digital application than manually. People prefer the digital option because it is convenient, accessible and guides them step-by-step through the process. This has simplified the application experience and saved applicants valuable time.

We encourage everyone applying for a parking permit to use the digital service at https://island.is/en/p-card, where detailed instructions help users complete their application quickly and easily.
