Adding or Changing a Vehicle in the Self-Service Portal

Miami’s parking management system allows users to add, remove, and change details about their vehicles through the self-service portal. You can access the self-service portal at miamioh.edu/parking/portal. Log in with your Miami University UniqueID and password.

Next, enter the details about the vehicle. If the vehicle has a paper or temporary license plate, click the link next to the License Plate field that says “Paper or Temp Plate?” and you will be prompted to enter the 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) instead of a license plate number. The last 8 digits of the VIN will be used as your temporary license plate until you receive your permanent license plates and update your record.

Click the “Create” button to add the new vehicle to your account. New vehicles are automatically added to your existing parking permits.

NOTE: Parking services began testing license plate recognition for parking enforcement in January 2019. It is important that the license plate or VIN information is accurate or the vehicle will not be recognized as having a valid parking permit.

Updating your license plate

To update your license plate, you must first remove the vehicle with the old license plate from your account by clicking the “Remove” button next to the vehicle record.

Then click the “Add New Vehicle” button or quick link to add the details of the vehicle with the new license plate number.

Click the “Create” button to add the vehicle with the new license plate to your account.
