Applying for and renewing a severely disabled person’s pass

First, upon application, an assessment is carried out to determine whether a disability exists and, if so, to what extent. This determines the degree of disability (GdB). A severely disabled person’s pass may be issued if the GdB is 50 or above; in addition, depending on the individual’s health situation, specific disability classifications may be assigned.

You can submit your application conveniently online via the ThAVEL portal of the Free State of Thuringia. You will find the relevant link under ‘Links’ labelled ‘Procedure for determining severe disability status in the City of Jena’. Once you have accessed ThAVEL, your postcode will first be used to check whether the City of Jena is responsible for your enquiry. If this is the case, you can then select the appropriate procedure for your enquiry and submit the relevant application.

The following applications can be submitted online via ThAVEL:

• Application for the assessment of a disability and the award of a disability status
• Submitting supporting documents for the application for the assessment of a disability
• Application for the issue of a severe disability card
• Application for the issue of the supplementary sheet for the severe disability card

Alternatively, you can also submit the application in paper form; the form is available under ‘Downloads’.
