Under certain conditions, severely disabled people are allowed to park in places where this is usually not allowed. Authorized persons can also use the parking facilities as a passenger. A separate driving licence is not required.

In Saxony-Anhalt, 3 different parking permits are issued and recognized:

• The "Blue Parking Card" (EU-wide)
