Transferring Liability of a PCN

This page is for Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) issued by Ocean Parking on private land in the UK.

It allows the person currently named on the notice (usually the registered keeper or hirer of the vehicle) to ask us to update our records so that future correspondence is sent to the correct person.

Please read the information below carefully before you complete the form.

When you can request a transfer

You can use this form if one of the following applies:

  1. You were not the driver
    You are the registered keeper or person named on the notice, but someone else was driving the vehicle at the time of the parking event and you can provide their full name and current postal address.

  2. The vehicle was on hire or lease
    You are a hire/lease company and the vehicle was on hire at the time. You can provide the hirer’s details and a copy of the hire/lease agreement covering the date of the parking event.

  3. You sold or transferred the vehicle before the date of the parking event
    You can provide the date of sale/transfer, the full name and address of the new keeper, and evidence (for example a sales invoice or DVLA acknowledgement).

If none of these apply, you should not use this form. Instead, please refer to the information on the back of your notice or our general FAQs.
