Medical assessment for disabled parking card or space

To determine if you as a driver or passenger have the right to a European Disabled Person's Parking Card or disabled parking space, you will get a medical evaluation.

A doctor or advisor from the Social Medical Care Department of the The Hague's Public Health Department (GGD/SMZ) will evaluate whether you meet the conditions and whether a medical assessment is needed.

Conditions

Conditions for disabled parking card or space

You can get an individual disabled parking space or a European Disabled Person’s Parking Card if you meet 1 of the following conditions.

  • As a passenger you cannot walk independently more than 100 metres at a time
    and you are dependent on the help of the driver for door-to-door transportation.

A visual disability does not qualify you for a disabled parking card.

Have you applied as a passenger for an individual disabled parking space? Then your partner or roommate's state of health will also be examined. It will be assessed whether he or she can assist you in getting in and out of a vehicle or in pushing a wheelchair. Do you believe this is not the case? Then he or she also needs to be medically assessed by a doctor from the GGD.Voeg hier de content toe
