Muscat: Within the framework of its continuous commitment to improve municipal services and facilitate procedures for individuals and institutions, the "Modify or Transfer a Vehicle Parking Permit" service comes as a smart digital solution, enabling beneficiaries to modify or transfer details of commercial vehicle parking permits between different vehicles, or change the booking area within the existing permit, providing the permit's validity is valid.
This service reflects the electronic transformation that Muscat Municipality has implemented as part of its comprehensive strategy of automating services. Thus, it contributes to speeding up procedures, reduce reliance on paper transactions, and enhance transparency and efficiency in offering services.
The service allows beneficiaries, both individuals and companies, to apply for amendment or transfer through the Municipality's E-portal without requiring visiting service centres, through uploading the required documents and inputting data via an easy-to-use digital form.
The Procedures:
This service requires several basic documents. They include the applicant's identity card, the required months, the vehicle ownership, the original permit to be amended, the ownership papers of the two vehicles (old and new) if transferring the permit, and specifying the new required area if changing the parking location. This aims to ensure organising the process and achieving justice in issuing commercial parking spaces according to the current activities in various regions.
The Nominal Fees:
The service application fee is OMR two (2) for each transferring of one parking space, which is a nominal fee added to the basic parking permit fee. The monthly fee for a parking permit in one fee zone is OMR 15, while the fee rises to OMR 20 per month if the license covers all fee zones. These fees organise parking movement and updating permits data, without creating a financial burden on the beneficiaries, especially with the service’s flexibility and ease, and saving time and effort.
This service is part of a range of smart services that Muscat Municipality offers electronically, inspired by its vision to achieve a sustainable urban environment that relies on innovation and enhances the beneficiaries' satisfaction. As well as, the objectives of Oman Vision 2040, which promotes integrating government services and improving the quality of life of individuals through simplifying procedures and transactions.
Muscat Municipality confirms its leading role in utilising technology in municipal work and achieving a major transformation in managing and operating public facilities and services. Thus, strengthening the governance principle and enhancing the efficiency of resources and services for residents and visitors to Muscat Governorate.
