Why the International Disability Card matters
The International Disability Card is available to anyone living with a disability, whether it is visible or not, temporary or permanent. Because disabilities exist in many different forms, there is no official list of conditions or diagnoses. If your disability affects how you move, communicate, process information or interact with your surroundings, this card is designed to support you. If you believe it could help in daily situations, you are welcome to apply for the card.

Disabilities are not always visible
Not all disabilities can be seen. Many people live with conditions that are invisible to others, such as autism, chronic illness, hearing impairment, anxiety disorders, or neurological conditions. These disabilities can affect how someone communicates, processes information, or responds to their environment.
Because these challenges are not always obvious, misunderstandings can easily occur. The International Disability Card helps make these situations clearer. It allows you to communicate your needs in a respectful way, without feeling exposed or judged.
Everyday support, in real life situations
The International Disability Card can be used anywhere where communication matters. You might find it helpful in:
- Busy shops or crowded public spaces
- Restaurants or service counters
- Train stations, airports or border checks
- Public transport or shared taxis
- Any situation where explaining your needs takes energy you don’t have
It’s not about asking for special treatment. It’s about helping others understand that you may need time, space, or a different form of support. The card can be shown quickly and quietly, helping you stay in control of the situation.

The International Disability Card is developed to support clear, respectful communication in everyday situations. It offers a discreet and practical way to indicate that someone may have a disability, and that a different pace, environment or response may be helpful.
Rather than drawing attention, the card provides quiet clarity. It allows individuals to communicate their needs without having to explain personal details, which can often be uncomfortable, tiring or simply unnecessary. This can make a significant difference in busy places, during travel, or in moments of stress.
The presence of the card helps reduce confusion and creates space for more considerate interactions. It is a small tool with a specific purpose: to support mutual understanding where it matters most. For many users, the card brings confidence in public spaces, reassurance in unfamiliar settings, and a sense of being seen without needing to justify anything. It respects privacy while offering something practical and meaningful.
