How to Request Sponsorship

Stanford visitors can follow the steps below to request sponsorship from Stanford employees. Please note that sponsorships can be approved for--and are limited to--up to six (6) months. For other guides on using the virtual parking permit system, visit our "How to" guides page.

Note: If you have been or will be sponsored for a SUNet ID, you do not need to request sponsorship through our office. When your SUNet ID is created you will also automatically receive access to our virtual permit system via Stanford University under Log in by Organization.
