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
- When entering a parking garage or after parking your vehicle in a space, call 411 3403 or use the assistance button to provide your license plate number.
- If the disabled parking permit (P-card) is visible on the dashboard during inspection by Reykjavík Parking Service staff, there's no need to use the payment machine. Simply drive to the exit.
