Parking for people with reduced mobility
People with limited mobility may qualify for a parking permit (P-sign) allowing them to park in specially designated spaces. With a parking permit, you can park in spaces designated for people with disabilities and park free of charge in paid outdoor spaces and parking garages operated by Reykjavík City.
How do I apply for a parking card?
Parking spots with this sign are called P-parking. These are exclusively for parking permit holders who apply through island.is. First you request a medical certificate that your doctor submits electronically to the district commissioner. You must then indicate whether you want to pick up the permit at your selected district commissioner's office or have it delivered to your home.
I don't have an electronic ID
- If you don't have an electronic ID, you can download the parking permit application in PDF format. Please note that a medical certificate must be available before submitting an application.
- Electronic IDs can be applied for at Auðkenni service locations.
Am I eligible for designated parking at my home?
If you are domiciled in Reykjavík and live with a long-term motor impairment that requires designated parking, you may be eligible.

Disabled parking permits (P-cards) in parking garages
- People with mobility disability parking permits can now register their vehicle for extended parking in Reykjavík parking garages. Once you register your vehicle and the gate opens, you won't need to call in every time.
-
Priority access is available up to the number of designated spaces in each parking garage, but if those spaces are full, permit holders can park free in other spaces as long as short-term spaces are available in the parking garage.
Regular use of parking garages:
Send an email to bilahus@reykjavik.is
Include the following information:
- License plate number, permit number and expiration date of your parking permit.
-
Name of the parking garage and specify if you need access to more than one parking garage.
Your parking permit must be clearly visible on the dashboard during inspections.
Registration is valid for one year or until your permit expires, whichever comes first.
Occasional use of parking garages:
Call 411-3403 after you park.
Let them know you have a parking permit and provide your license plate number.
Your parking permit must be clearly visible on the dashboard during inspections.
Registration is valid for one visit.
