Amman, Sept. 9 (Petra) - The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) launched an online service on Wednesday for issuing valet parking permits.

The new digital service aims to curb sidewalk misuse, ease traffic congestion, and crack down on unlicensed operators, ensuring safe and legal parking management across commercial areas, it said.

Under the new system, valet companies and business owners can apply for permits online. Applicants must submit occupational licenses for the valet company, the host business, and the designated parking lot. They must also provide notarized lease agreements and formal contracts detailing service terms, duration, and required parking spaces.

GAM stated that businesses using their own built-in parking lots must meet full parking space requirements without replacing them with cash-in-lieu fees, adding that service providers are prohibited from blocking or reserving public sidewalks under any circumstances.

In coordination with the Ministry of Interior and the Public Security Directorate, the online permitting platform aims to bring structure to the valet industry and eliminate illegal practices on city streets.
