Double check your parking ticket before paying

We have had some reports of fake parking tickets (PCNs) left on vehicles in Islington and neighbouring boroughs.

If you get a PCN, please check:

  • it has the Islington Council logo, crest and 'for a more equal future' in the top-right on the front
  • the back has instructions on how to pay including the web address islington.gov.uk/pcnpay - if you use this, you will see a green band at the top with our logo
  • the back also tells you how to challenge a PCN
  • it has a detachable slip that says "do not pay the civil enforcement officer"

Our PCNs do not have a QR code that you scan with your phone camera to pay. Do not scan any QR code on a PCN.

When they will arrive

If you need visitor vouchers sooner, buy e-vouchers instead.

We will send orders over £100 by Royal Mail special delivery and someone will need to sign for the package. If you won't be home or can't collect the package, order less than £100 of vouchers.

Lost vouchers

If you don't receive the vouchers within 10 days, you should fill in a voucher indemnity form so that we can send you new ones.
