European parking card for disabled war veterans

The card allows you to park free of charge and without limitation of duration on the places reserved for people with reduced mobility but also on all those open to the public in the national territory and in all the countries of the European Union.

The card can be issued to you if your disability reduces your walking mobility and your travel autonomy.

It can also be awarded if your disability requires the presence of a third person to help you with all your travel (for example, you have a sensory or mental disability).

You can benefit from the European parking card if you are in any of the following :

• Your walking perimeter is limited and it is less than 200 meters
• You always use assistance for your external movements (human aid, cane or any other device manipulated with the aid of one or two upper limbs, vehicle for persons with disabilities)
• You have a lower limb prosthesis
• You use oxygen therapy (an oxygen delivery device to help you breathe) during all your outdoor trips

• Proof of domicile (electricity or gas bill, rent receipt...)

You must send all documents to the departmental department of the National Office of Veterans and Victims of War (ONACVG) of the place of your residence, preferably by registered letter with notice of receipt.
