Municipality of Laarbeek: applying for an EU parking card for people with disabilities

Review by physician

Your physical disability will be assessed by a doctor appointed by us as a municipality. This doctor advises us whether you are entitled to a disabled parking card. Your personal circumstances will also be taken into account in this investigation. In some cases, a physical examination is not necessary. Then it is enough to ask questions.

When the card is renewed, usually no further medical examination is required. However, has your medical situation changed? Then we seek advice from an external doctor.

Evidence

Do you use medication or are you being treated by a specialist? Please bring information about this (appointment cards and medication overviews) with you to prove this. You will need this to substantiate your application.

Validity parking card

The parking card is valid for a maximum of 5 years within the entire EU.

passenger card

Are you applying for a passenger card because you are dependent on the assistance of a driver for a long time? In that case, the medical examination will determine how dependent you are on help.

Dependent on wheelchair

Are you really dependent on your wheelchair due to a condition or disability? Then you can apply for a driver or passenger card.

Institution

Are you an institution and do you provide transport for people with disabilities who are staying in a care institution specially equipped for them? Then request an institution card.
