Pay a parking fine

If you pay a parking fine, legally known as a penalty charge notice (PCN), within 14 days of the date it was given to you, you'll get a 50% discount.

To pay a parking fine you'll need:

• your vehicle registration number (also known as a number plate, licence number or licence plate)
• the 10 character reference number printed on your PCN
• a debit or credit card to make the payment (payments cannot be made using an American Express card)

Alternatively, you can pay by phone on 0333 121 0031.

If you lose your PCN fine reference number, contact the parking team and let us know:

• your vehicle registration number (also known as a number plate, licence number or licence plate)
• the date the PCN was issued
• details on where you were parked when the PCN was issued

If you feel there is a good reason why you should not pay it, you can appeal a parking fine.

When processing a PCN, we may request details about the vehicle owner from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
