Handicapped parking space application

Do you have a disability and do not have your own parking space? Then you can request a disabled parking space from the municipality.

Approach

This is how you apply for a handicapped parking space:

  • You apply for the disabled parking space at the municipality in which you live.
  • You will need:
    • A sketch of the desired parking lot
    • A copy of your disabled parking permit (driver's permit)

Change license plate number or cancel disabled parking spot?

Do you want to cancel your parking space or are you getting a new car? Please also communicate that via the digital form.

We will check if you still have a valid Disabled Parking Permit and if the license plate is registered to your residential address. If so, we will get to work. It may take some time for the new sign to arrive. Do you still have questions? Please contact the municipality.
