How to Add License Plate Information in Your Account

Stanford affiliates can follow the steps below to add single or multiple license plate numbers to their account. We encourage customers to input information for all vehicles they might bring to campus. There are no limits to the number of vehicles that can be registered--the only restriction is that only one vehicle can be brought to campus at any given time with the same permit. For other guides on using the virtual parking permit system, visit our "How to" guides page.

If you already have a permit, you can also choose to add the new vehicle to an existing permit.

Note: If you plan to park additional vehicles on campus in the future (e.g., switch cars on a different days), you may go back to step one and follow the same steps to enter additional vehicles. Adding vehicles does not automatically assign them to any existing permits. Customers will manually have to go to the Permits Tab, click the "+" button to add the newly added vehicles to the desired permit.
