ZUL SMS Verification

Paying for street parking in Brazil by phone? Get your ZUL SMS verification code without a local SIM and manage Zona Azul and car payments in Zul+.

Zul+ (ZUL) is the drivers' app of Brazilian parking operator Estapar. In 21 cities, including São Paulo, Belo Horizonte and Curitiba, it handles digital Zona Azul street parking, and it also offers IPVA, licensing and traffic-fine payments, a toll and parking tag, insurance quotes and parking reservations. Because payments sit in the account, sign-up includes phone verification.

With a virtual number you enter the temporary number on the Zul+ sign-up screen and type in the code. It is practical for drivers visiting Brazil on business or in a rental car without a local line, people needing short-term street parking, or anyone opening a separate account for a company car. You then add the plate and choose the parking time.

Cards, fines and tax payments are stored in the account, so if you will use it for long, move it to a permanent number; a re-verification on a temporary one could cut off your payment history. Check the plate before starting a session, pay fines only inside the app and ignore payment links sent by SMS.
