Blue zone annual parking in Zurich

Hello all!

I bought a car and I plan to make annual blue card in Zurich for parking. I read that if you make online parking card than you can print it at home. How long does it take to get pdf version for printing if I pay immediately?

Also, if I go to office and I pay there, how long does it take till they give me parking card?

I know there is 45 days blue zones parking too (which I would get immediately) but I would prefer to save cash and get immediately the one for all the year. I need parking for this weekend already.

Maybe the answers you need are here:

If not, perhaps you could phone that office directly.

So regarding an answer I got already by calling them.

If I get new plates I have to call them as I cannot pay online. I tell them my plate numbers and they activate me option for paying online. I get first pdf file to my email immediately after I pay and this parking is valid for 5 days. Annual parking paper I get to my post box.

Is 45 days the shortest amount of time you can get a parking card for ?

If you go and pay there they print the parking card right on spot. When I was registering my car I visited their office near Zurich Hauptbahnhof on the way to pick up the car from the seller (with the new plates in my backpack) and got the parking card in 5 minutes.
