Apply for a replacement resident parking permit
If your resident parking permit is lost or damaged, you can apply for a replacement. You can submit your application to the relevant road traffic authority.
Responsible authority
In Baden-Württemberg, the relevant authorities are the local road traffic authorities, which are usually the district office or the relevant local council.
