Apply for a severely disabled person's pass

Service Description

You have been determined to have a degree of disability of at least 50 and would like to claim rights and benefits based on this determination? Then you must apply in writing for the issuance of a severely disabled person's ID card.

Process flow

You must first apply for the determination of the disability in writing or in person at the competent office. If you have been determined to have a degree of disability of at least 50, you can apply for a severely disabled person's ID card.

The issuing authority will note on the severely disabled person's ID card the determined degree of disability, the validity as well as further health characteristics in the form of characteristic signs. The degree of disability is indicated as a number rounded to 10 in the range from 50 to 100. In addition, the ID card may contain a history on the back, i.e. it shows from when individual determinations of the degree of disability and the disadvantage compensation have been proven.

Who should I contact?

For the issuance and renewal of a severely disabled person's card, contact your district office or the administration of your independent city.
