Uckermark district administration: Important dates and online services for citizens!

There is important information on the agenda in the Uckermark: On Wednesday, June 18th, the district administration employees will be temporarily unavailable due to an internal event. This particularly affects the areas of vehicle registration authority, driving license authority and road traffic authority, which will not be available by telephone or in person on the following Monday, June 23rd. However, if you have questions about registrations or driving licenses, you can find information online on the Uckermark website.

In order to still get the information you need, citizens can use the driving license information online to check whether their new driving license has been picked up. It is also possible to make appointment reservations at the vehicle registration office using a corresponding online service. Other vehicle-specific online services are also available.

Parking permit for people with disabilities

Another issue that keeps coming up in the region is the various parking permits for people with disabilities. Applying for a parking permit for severely disabled persons requires a determination of the disability, which is made by the municipal administration. Applicants must note that they are not allowed to own a parking space outside of public traffic areas or that they need confirmation from their landlord if they have parking space on their private property.

People with severe walking disabilities or blind people who require the support of an accompanying person have the option of applying for an individual parking space. Special parking spaces with a wheelchair symbol may only be used by severely disabled people with the “aG” symbol. Further details about the requirements can be found, for example, on the website of Zulassensstelle.de.

Benefits of parking permits

The two parking permit variants, blue and orange parking permits, offer different advantages. The blue parking permit is valid throughout the EU and allows parking in disabled parking spaces, while the orange parking permit is valid in Germany and includes various facilities, such as parking in restricted parking spaces for up to three hours with a parking disc. In addition, both ID cards, which must be placed clearly visible behind the windshield, can also be used as a passenger.

• Blauer Parkausweis: Berechtigt zum Parken auf Behindertenparkplätzen, gilt EU-weit.
• Oranger Parkausweis: Gilt deutschlandweit und erlaubt spezifische Erleichterungen im Parkverhalten.

When applying, a number of documents are required, including a current passport photo, the severely disabled person's card and the notice from the pension office. The applicant must be personally present in the vehicle to use the parking permits in order to avoid misuse, as recommended on the website of cities and municipalities.

In summary, it can be seen that both the upcoming administrative closures and the regulations surrounding parking permits are important issues for the citizens of the Uckermark. The online services make it easier to access information and submit applications in these areas.
