Changing a registration number

Requests to change a registration number must be submitted to ibuakort@reykjavik.is in advance. The resident parking permit holder must be listed as the registered owner or operator of the vehicle in the Icelandic Transport Authority's vehicle registry.

For temporary changes due to repair or damage to the permit holder's own vehicle, the vehicle registry requirement does not apply for periods of up to eight weeks, provided the expected duration is specified in the request.
