The parking card for people with reduced mobility makes using the car more easier for the people who are entitled to have the card. The card may be admitted to either fixed term use or to a permanent use. (Note: ”a permanent” Card period is 10 years. After that, the holder applies for the card again, to get another 10 year card. The renewal process does not require doctors certificate). The applicant does not need to have a driver´s license, but the card may only be used when the owner of it is travelling in the car.
