As part of the EU project MOSI - Improvement of the system of using the rights of persons with disabilities in the field of mobility whose beneficiary is the Ministry of the Sea, traffic and infrastructure, based on the new of the Act on Traffic Privileges, Agency for commercial activity (AKD) begins to process data by official duty for issuance European and National identity cards and European parking cards for persons with disabilities.
The first issuance of new documents is taking place without submitting a request by the user, based on disability/disability information from Register of persons with disabilities at the Croatian Institute of Public Health and data from other registers within the public administration that are necessary for granting rights and issuing documents. Using the National ID card for people with disabilities quickly and easily proves the right to certain benefits, and the granting of the right to privileges in the field of mobility takes place entirely digitally, without the need to visit counters and institutions. The right to issue documents is exercised by persons with disabilities according to the criteria set out in the Act, a new documents will be sent to their address of residence in the Republic of Croatia. With the national ID card for persons with disabilities, privileges can be obtained in four areas (the card will indicate which privilege can be used in accordance with the criteria from the Traffic Privileges Act) – rail and sea passenger transport, when using highways and using public roads. Everyone who exercises their rights to a National ID also gets a European one, which, in accordance with the proposal of the new EU Directive, enables equal access to benefits in all member states that are primarily focused on the field of tourism, cultures (museums, theaters, concerts) the sports. Users are invited to check and enter all their information immediately (total bodily harm, physical impairment that refers to damage to the lower extremities, degree of functional impairment...) and Register of persons with disabilities, by contacting the e-mail address invaliditet@hzjz.hr. Residence in the Republic of Croatia is a prerequisite for issuing documents.
