Who can get a disabled parking card in Denmark and what does it cost?

Short answer

A disabled parking card is for people with reduced walking ability who need to park close to where they are going. You qualify if you got support for a car under the Social Services Act, are approved for disabled transport such as Flextrafik Handicap, or have a lasting disability that greatly limits walking. You apply to Danske Handicaporganisationer, online at selvbetjening.handicap.dk with MitID or on a paper form, and processing takes up to 2 weeks. As of November 2026 a new card costs DKK 425 and is valid for up to 10 years.

Why

  1. Renewal within six months after expiry costs DKK 250.
  2. The card can be used throughout the EU and in many other countries.
  3. Someone else can apply for you with their own MitID.

Details

The card follows the person, not the car, so it is valid in any car only while the cardholder is in it.

Tip

Apply in good time before the old card expires, since renewal needs a new application.

What may differ

Abroad, the local rules for disabled parking can differ from the Danish ones.

Common misconception

Many think a renewal is automatic if your situation has not changed.

What actually happens

You must send a new application each time, even if nothing has changed.
