Application for Disability ID and Parking Permit Becomes Easier

People with disabilities and their relatives are expected to benefit from a simplification in the application process for the disability pass and the parking permit (according to Paragraph 29b of the Road Traffic Regulations), as applicants will no longer need to attach their own photo. According to a press release from the Ministry of Social Affairs on Tuesday, around 70,000 people are affected by the change in the law each year.

Relief for People with Disabilities

This is made possible by an amendment to the Federal Disability Act (BBG), which allows access to photos in already existing databases such as the passport register. If a current photo is available there, it will be automatically used for the application. The processing of the photos is carried out in strict compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it was stated.
