Description

Do you drive a vehicle fitted with an integrated system mounted in or on the vehicle that is used to place the wheelchair together with the user in the vehicle, and does this vehicle fail to meet the entry requirements?  If your vehicle meets the conditions below, you can get an exemption. It allows you to register your vehicle free of charge. 
 
The registration is valid in all Flemish cities with a low emission zone (Ghent and Antwerp) until 31/12/2024 or until the validity of the required documents. The registration is not valid for the LEZ in Brussels.
 

Conditions

Your vehicle is fitted with a wheelchair system or with an integrated system mounted in or on the vehicle that is used to place the wheelchair together with the user in the vehicle. 

Required documents

  • your registration document
  • your European Certificate of Conformity 
  • proof of the fitting of the wheelchair lift for that vehicle: an (individual) approval certificate issued by the FPS (Federal Public Service) for Mobility or any other competent government body

Procedure

Make an appointment (+32 9 210 10 30) if you want to register your vehicle. Or send all the required documents to lez@stad.gent
