Severely disabled person's pass

People with a degree of disability (GdB) of at least 50 can identify themselves with a severely disabled person's pass.

Description

The severely disabled person's pass is used to identify oneself as a severely disabled person to employers, social benefit providers, authorities and so on.

You are considered severely disabled if the degree of disability (GdB) is proven to be 50 or more.

The GdB is entered on the back of the ID card. It can also be changed at a later date, but only after a re-examination.

The severely disabled person's pass is issued for a maximum of five years. Only in cases where a reassessment of the GdB is not to be expected due to a significant change in the health circumstances that were decisive for the assessment can the card be issued for an unlimited period.

In any case, you should think about renewing your severely disabled person's pass in good time - about three months before it expires.
