Apply for a parking permit for severely disabled people

People with severe disabilities can apply for a parking permit under certain conditions. This permit allows them to park in places where parking is not normally allowed.

Eligible individuals can also use the parking privileges if they are a passenger. A separate driver's license is not required.

The parking permit together with the written exemption authorization serves as proof.

There are two versions of the parking permit.

Blue parking permit:

• valid throughout Europe
• entitles you to park in parking spaces marked with a wheelchair symbol

Orange parking permit:

• applies nationwide

Both parking permits entitle the holder to park in the following locations:

• Parking is permitted for up to 3 hours in restricted parking zones; applicants may be granted a longer parking time for specific no-stopping zones. The arrival time must be indicated on a parking disc.
• under certain conditions in traffic-calmed areas
• in residents' parking spaces for up to 3 hours
• during loading time in pedestrian zones where loading and unloading is permitted for certain times
• at parking meters and ticket machines without charge or time limit
• Parking is permitted in areas with a no-stopping zone, even outside the permitted parking time.
• beyond the permitted time in places where parking time is limited
