  2. Proof of current student status (current student ID, current acceptance letter, or current class schedule)

New residents will be issued a 60-day temporary permit to allow time to obtain a Maryland driver’s license and a Maryland vehicle registration. New Maryland residents must present their out-of-state driver’s license and vehicle registration along with one of the following:

  1. Current lease (must be signed by all parties including the landlord)
  2. Settlement documents (must be signed by all parties)

Off-Street Parking Requirement:

  • Areas 8, 9, and 37 have off-street parking requirements for some residences. If you have an off-street parking space (parking pad, driveway, or garage), you are not eligible for a decal for the first car. The 1st vehicle will be assigned to your off-street space and not be eligible to purchase a decal.  If you have a second or third car you can get a decal. Vehicle registration is required for all vehicles.
  • If you have more than one off-street space, you must follow the same process for each off-street space and show it is being used by a resident before decals may be released.
