What is the European parking card for people with disabilities?
This is the accreditation document that allows a person with reduced mobility to request a free parking space in an area near their home or to stop or park in spaces specifically designated for this purpose, among other options.
It is free, personal, non-transferable and valid in all European Union countries.
Who can apply?
They may apply for this card:
- Persons with an accredited disability of more than 33% that affects their mobility.
- Persons with a visual acuity impairment equal to or less than 0.1 with correction, or a visual field reduced to 10 degrees or less.
- Drivers or public transportation companies that provide services to people with disabilities.
How to apply?
To apply for a European parking card, you must go to the city hall of the city where you live. In some cases, this procedure can also be carried out through regional bodies.
Along with the accreditation of the degree of disability, a photocopy of the DNI of the person applying for the European Parking Card and two passport-size photos of the future holder must be provided.
Use of the card
The card must be placed with the front side fully visible in a place on the windshield.
When used in another EU country, you can also place a sign next to it with the information in the language of the country you are visiting.
