How to Purchase Your Annual Permit and Register Your Vehicle

• Visit ECU PiratePort: https://pirateport.ecu.edu/connect. You will need your Pirate ID and passphrase to enter PiratePort.
• Click the Parking & Transportation application OR type Parking & Transportation in the search box.
• Click the Manage Account button to update or verify your information.
  • Please include your mailstop number if you would like the permit sent through campus mail.
• You will need your license plate number, vehicle year, make, model and color.
• If everything is up to date, click Parking Portal on the top left hand side.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Get Permits and follow the directions.

Remember to select whether or not you want the permit mailed to your preferred address or if you wish to pick it up in our office. Note: If you do not receive a payment confirmation receipt in your email shortly after submitting the payment, then it did not go through. The process will either need to be done again or you can call our office. In addition, if you paid with a Visa but the payment option says MasterCard, please disregard. It will correct itself.
