The International Disability Card (IDC) is a communication aid designed to help people with visible or invisible disabilities communicate their situation easily and clearly. The card can help prevent misunderstandings or uncomfortable situations by providing a universally recognisable reference.

The card does not grant legal rights or privileges. It is intended purely as a supportive tool, especially useful when travelling or when language barriers make communication more difficult. The card includes a QR code that links to verification information about the International Disability Card.

Anyone who feels the International Disability Card would be helpful can apply. There are no restrictions, no medical documentation required, and no proof of disability needed.

Because the card functions only as a communication aid and does not provide official rights or benefits, it is accessible to anyone who may benefit from using it.

Your card will include the following details:

• First name
• Last name
• Nationality
• Date of birth
• Card number

Will my disability be shown on the card?
No, your disability or medical condition will not be displayed on the card for privacy reasons. After your application is approved, this information is processed anonymously.

Every country has different rules regarding disabled parking. Whether you can use this card for parking depends on the country and municipality where you live. 

We highly recommend contacting your local authorities or relevant organizations to check the specific rules and requirements in your area.

The processing and delivery time for your International Disability Card may vary. On average, it takes about two weeks, but this depends on the country you live in. In some cases, it may take longer due to factors such as card availability or unforeseen complications in the application process.

The good news is that once your application has been processed and your card has been shipped, you will receive a confirmation email. Please note that the card is sent by postal mail to the address provided in your application. This address cannot be changed after submission, and unfortunately, tracking is not available for the shipment.

Renewal is optional. If you choose to renew, a new card will be issued with a renewed one-year verification linked to the QR code. The renewal follows the same process as the initial application.

If you do not want your card to be renewed, you can cancel via “My IDC” under the cancellation section or by contacting customer service.
