Disabled parking permit

Do you have a European disability parking card? Then you can apply for a free parking permit, even if you don’t live in Utrecht. This means that you can park for free on the street in the municipality of Utrecht.

Which disabled parking card do you have?

Driver card (B)

If you have a driver card (B), you will receive a parking permit with a fixed registration number on it. You can change this registration number if you have a new car or if you temporarily use a different car.

Passenger card (P) or combination card (B/P)

If you have a passenger card (P) or a combination card (B/P), you can choose between a parking permit with a fixed registration number on it or a parking permit with varying registration numbers on it.

The parking permit with a fixed registration number is useful if you always drive the same car. You only need to change the registration number if you have a new car, or if you temporarily use another car.

The parking permit with varying registration numbers on it is useful if you use different cars. You should always inform us of the registration number. This can be done online or via telephone number 14 030. This registration number will remain active for a maximum of five days. You can change the registration number as many times as you want.

Conditions
