The issuing offices are the departments for issuing parking permits for the municipal districts where ZPS (Paid Parking Zones) have been implemented.
The addresses and opening hours of these offices can be found here or directly on the municipal district websites.

Delivery takes place in the so-called delivery boxes, which are distinguished from the regular blue, purple and orange paid parking zones by the vertical traffic sign P – RESERVÉ, which is supplemented by an additional table with the text "Zásobování".

If the location of the delivedy boxes does not suit you, it is also possible to park directly in the paid parking zone after paying for a short-term parking permit. In the case of purple and orange zones, you can make a payment via a parking machine or you can use one of the online payment methods that will allow you to pay the parking fee in the blue zone as well.

It is also possible to delivery outside the operating hours of the paid parking zone. Long-term parking permits for delivery purposes are not issued.

The permit is issued for a max. of 3 vehicles and for at most 5 parking sub-zones.

ZTP card holders are entitled to a Parking Permit for ZTP Holders (document only available in Czech) for a reduced price. Physically disabled citizens with permanent residence in a given area can also apply for a reserved parking spot (i.e. for a specific vehicle registration plate). These spots are established for a specific vehicle in accordance with Section 25 of Act No. 13/1997 Coll. on Roads and are exempt from paying a local fee for use of public space (more info here: Application for a reserved parking spot contract for a physically disabled person)
