Handicapped parking pass

What is it?

A disabled parking permit allows you to park in disabled parking spaces in all EU countries, Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland. However, you must follow local parking rules.

There are 3 types of Maps.

Driver's card

  • You cannot walk more than 100 meters independently for at least six months. Not even with aids, such as a cane or crutches.
  • You can drive your own car.

Passenger card

  • You cannot walk more than 100 meters independently for at least six months. Not even with aids, such as a cane or crutches.
  • You cannot drive a car by yourself. You constantly need the help of a driver.

You can also apply for a combination of a driver card and a passenger card. For example, if you are permanently confined to a wheelchair.

Settings Card

The board of an institution where people with disabilities reside may apply for a disabled parking permit for the transportation of residents.

What to do?

  • You apply for the disabled parking permit at the municipality.
  • A medical authority examines your physical disability. The municipality determines which authority does this.

To do this, please complete the (pdf, 803KB) printout and drop it off at or send it to the municipality.

Additional information

The main Requirements are:
