Q&A about the City of Reykjavik

Foundation tracks, bus routes and multi-storey museum streets enjoy priority. Residential streets are cleared only if they are heavy with private vehicles, heavy slippery, or snow depths greater than 15 inches. An exception may be made if there is a risk of freezing once snow ridges have formed. Snow clearing is limited to making these pores achievable. During snow clearing of residential streets, it is likely that during driveways a snow drift will develop which the City of Reykjavik will not be responsible for clearing. It therefore falls to the occupants themselves to clear away snow from driveways.

Salt and sand can be found at Reykjavík City's local stations.

Suspension Violation Charges are two types:

1. Extra parking fees that are applied to cars where the use of a paid parking space has not been paid for or has been paid for too long.
2. Violation charges imposed on vehicles due to illegal repairs according to the detailed traffic legislation.

Þú getur greitt stöðvunarbrotagjald (oft kallað stöðumælasekt) með því að:

• Nota formið „Greiðsluseðlar“ í heimabankanum þínum.
• Mæta í bankann og borga þar.

Það er ekki hægt að greiða stöðvunarbrotagjald (oft kallað stöðumælasekt) með millifærslu. Þú getur greitt með því að:

• Nota formið „Greiðsluseðlar“ í heimabankanum þínum.
• Mæta í bankann og borga þar.

1. Opnaðu formið „Greiðsluseðlar“ í heimabankanum þínum. Vertu með miðann með gjaldinu (stöðumælasektina) við hendina.

2. Sláðu inn kröfulínuna eins og hún er á miðanum. Kröfulínan er neðst á miðanum og er sett upp svona:

• Kennitala bílastæðasjóðs
• Númer gjaldsins
• Flokkur 03, banki 513, höfuðbók 66
• Gjalddagi (passið að setja inn gjalddagann sem er á miðanum, ekki neina aðra dagsetningu)
• Kennitala eiganda ökutækisins.

Þegar greitt er í heimabanka er best að nota vafra, ekki app. 
 

Resumption of the decision imposing the suspension infringement fee may be requested by sending a request within 28 days of the date of imposition. The general delivery time is 2-4 weeks.

• You will log in to the support site to submit a certificate of employment.
• An electronic ID or ID wedge must be used for authentication.
• The information should be aimed at the last place of work at the City of Reykjavik.
• The certificate will be emailed to you. Please provide a valid email address and mobile phone number (if you need to contact the recipient).
• The minutes will be provided within two weeks of the date of receipt. Please make it clear if the matter concerns a certificate of employment for the employment agency.

A certificate of employment is a confirmation by the previous employer of the period of employment and job title performed by the employee. They are used, among other things, to establish the experience and seniority of individuals.

Employment certificates from other employers may therefore affect the employee's pay to raise and sick leave entitlements (work in rural communities or state).
