  • The applicant must own the business and its premises, or hold written authorization from the property owner to apply for a business parking permit.
  • The operator's premises must not include parking rights on the lot — whether for private use or as a common area — as specified in a land-use plan, lot lease agreement, measurement sheet, lot survey, approved declaration of property division, or property registry filing, following the rules for resident parking permits.
  • The applicant must be the vehicle's registered owner or operator, and the vehicle must carry Icelandic registration plates and be permitted to park on streets and in public parking spaces under the Traffic Act and police regulations.
