Municipality of Smallingerland: applying for an EU parking card for people with disabilities
Please note: You can only apply for an EU parking card for people with disabilities if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
Disabled parking card
If you have a disabled parking card and are visiting the centre, you can park for free for up to 3 hours. Then put your disabled parking card and a blue parking disc visibly behind your windscreen. The disabled parking card is valid for a maximum of 5 years. There are 4 types of disabled parking cards. Please indicate which one you want to apply for with your application.
Types of disabled parking cards
Driver card: you cannot walk more than 100 meters independently with aids such as a cane or crutches for at least six months. The card is personal and no vehicle needs to be registered in your name. You do need a driver's license for the application.
Passenger Card: You cannot drive on your own and always need assistance from a driver for door-to-door transportation. You cannot wait independently for at least six months and you cannot walk 100 meters independently without a walker, cane or crutches. With the passenger card you can ride with someone and this person can park on your card in a general disabled parking space. This card is personal.
Combination card: you permanently use a wheelchair and/or have another serious physical disability that makes walking difficult. The combination card is issued in exceptional cases.
Institutional parking card: you may also be eligible for a parking card if you live in an institution. Your institution must apply for the card.

During a medical examination, a medical examiner determines whether you meet these conditions for a disabled parking card.
