Finding parking in bustling areas like Dubai and Sharjah can be a challenge, especially during office hours and holidays. However, an effective parking solution can significantly reduce stress and improve traffic flow. In Sharjah, a prepaid parking subscription system offers convenience for both individuals and businesses, allowing them to utilize public parking spaces according to their chosen plans.
Sharjah’s parking subscription plans cater to different needs. Individuals can choose between a personal subscription that covers all areas of Sharjah or just two specific areas, while businesses can opt for a city-wide parking plan. Subscription fees vary depending on the type of plan selected.
Subscribers are currently issued parking stickers, but Sharjah Municipality plans to introduce smart parking cards. These smart cards will be linked directly to the vehicle’s registration number and must be displayed clearly on the vehicle’s windscreen. For those looking to obtain a parking subscription, they can visit the Sharjah Municipality office near Ramez Mall, conveniently located close to Sharjah Cricket Stadium, or apply online through the Sharjah City Municipality website.
To apply online for a smart parking card, follow these steps:
1. Visit the official Sharjah City Municipality website at [portal.shjmun.gov.ae](https://portal.shjmun.gov.ae/en/Pages/Home.aspx).
2. Navigate to the ‘Our Smart Services’ tab at the top.
3. Select ‘Public Parking Department Service.’
4. Click on ‘Parking Subscription’ and ‘Enter the Service.’
5. Sign in to your account and follow the instructions to complete the process.
