Register a disabled parking card for a space

Disabled parking card holders should register their vehicles when using paid spaces. This ensures accurate records and prevents mistaken meter violation fees. This registration remains valid until the end of the day at all paid parking spaces in Reykjavík, excluding parking garages.
 

Designated parking

A designated parking space, sometimes called a disabled parking space or "P-stæði", allows people with motor impairments to park near their home in Reykjavík. 

Designated parking spaces, sometimes called "P-stæði", are not the same as a P-merki, a disabled parking card issued by the district commissioner. 

P-merki

A disabled parking card (P-merki) allows people with motor impairments to park in any designated disabled parking space, such as those outside stores and public institutions.

You can apply for a disabled parking permit on island.is. First you request a medical certificate that your doctor submits electronically to the district commissioner. You can then choose to pick up the card at a district commissioner's office or have it mailed to your home.

Can I park if the charging station is broken?

No. A broken charging station does not allow parking in the spot.
