Common mistakes and how to avoid them

According to Committee for Transport of St. Petersburg, about 15% of parking permit renewal applications were rejected in 2023. Main reasons:

1. Inconsistency of data in documents

Most often errors occur in:

• 📛 State car number — a typo in one letter/number leads to automatic refusal.
• 📍 Registration address - if the extract from the Unified State Register indicates the old address, and the new one in the passport.
• 👤 Full name of the applicant — discrepancies in the passport and STS (for example, after a last name change).

2. Overdue documents

Check expiration dates:

• 📄 Passport - must be valid (not expired).
• 🚘 STS - if your car registration has expired, first renew it at the traffic police.
• 📍 Extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate - no older than 3 months.

3. Incorrect file format

System State services often fails due to:

• 📎 The file size is too large (maximum 5 MB).
• 📎 Unsupported format (for example, TIFF or BMP).
• 📎 Low scan quality (unreadable text).

4. Submitting an application in the wrong period

As already mentioned, you can apply for an extension no earlier than 30 days before the expiration of the current permit. If you do this earlier, the system will generate an error:

• 🔴 Number of family permits exceeded — you or your relatives already have a valid permit.
