The Hoboken Parking Utility (HPU) welcomes Hoboken Residents to use the Virtual Visitor Parking (VVP) permit system. All Hoboken residents with a valid HPU Online account are eligible to purchase and activate virtual visitor permits online. This enhanced system allows visitor permits to be purchased from any internet-enabled computer, tablet, or smartphone, offering a faster and more convenient way for Hoboken residents to purchase and manage their visitor permits. The system is 100% online and provides real time activation at any time, so a visit to the HPU office is no longer required to purchase visitor permits.
Virtual Visitor Permits (VVPs) provide many benefits including:
The new system also helps residents and visitors avoid Temporary No Parking areas by providing an easy-to-use, interactive map. The map displays current and future Temporary No Parking areas which enables residents to inform their guests ahead of time of which areas to avoid when they look for a parking space.
To learn more about the new Virtual Visitor Parking permit system, watch the “how-to” videos and reference the FAQ section below.
For any questions call HPU at 201-653-1919 during normal business hours or email HPUsupport@hobokennj.gov if you are experiencing any technical difficulties with the VVP system.

Where can I activate my Virtual Visitor Permit?
Go to our VVP Activation web site: https://hpuvp.hobokennj.gov/
What if I don’t have an active HPU Online account?
To purchase a Virtual Visitor Permit you must be a resident of Hoboken and have a valid HPU Online account.
How long do I have to activate a purchased VVP?
Residents have one year from the date of purchase to activate VVPs. For example, if a permit was purchased on 01/01/2020, it must be activated by 12/31/2020.
My guest's activation is about to expire, what happens next?
If you opted in to allow text notifications, then your guest will be notified when the permit is 30 minutes away from expiration. The purchaser can then choose to add more time by activating another VVP.

Virtual Visitor Permits exempt vehicles from having to pay at meters or through the ParkMobile app in Hoboken's 4-hour parking zones. (WHITE SIGN GREEN LETTERS) Virtual Visitor Permits DO NOT exempt vehicles from paying at meters or through the ParkMobile app in Hoboken's 4-hour Business District parking zones.
