Mobility Inclusion Card (CMI)
Verified 28 April 2026 - Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Are you losing autonomy and want to know if you can get a mobility inclusion card (CMI) to facilitate your travel? We're taking stock of the regulations.
The IJC may include the following information:
- Mention Parking which allows you to park for free
- Mention Priority which allows you to avoid queues or to have a seat
- Mention Disability which is aimed at people with significant loss of autonomy. It offers the same advantages as the Priority IJC, with reductions in transport and tax benefits in particular.
You can get a MIF with multiple mentions.

Vidéo - Mobility Inclusion Cards (CMI)
Free, the mobility card inclusion called CMI facilitates your travels if you are losing autonomy.
There are 3 types of card:
- the Parking MIF;
- the Priority IJC;
- the Invalidity MIF.
What is the “Parking” Inclusion Mobility Card?
It's a card that gives you the right:
- to park in parking spaces reserved for disabled people;
- and free open-access seats.
Can you benefit from it?
Yes, if your ability to walk is very limited due to your disability or if you need to be accompanied on your travels, regardless of your disability rate.
The Parking MIF is granted to a person and not to a vehicle.
You can use it in any vehicle, whether you own it or not, driver or passenger.
Let's talk about the “Priority” mobility inclusion card.
She gives you:
- priority for seating in all public places, including public transport;
- priority in queues;
- and access to priority funds.
Can you benefit from it?
Yes, if your disability rate is less than 80% and your disability makes standing difficult.
Finally, there is the mobility card inclusion “Invalidity”.
She gives you:
- the same advantages as the “Priority” card;
- and in addition to specific discounts, for example on your tickets or tickets in cultural venues.
Can you benefit from it?
Yes, if your disability rate is above 80%
Good to know!
If you have an aide from the Maison départementale des personnes handicapées (MDPH) or if you receive funding related to disability pensions to employ a human aid, the “Disability” card will be marked “need for accompaniment”.
This mention allows you to have discounts or free for the person accompanying you, especially on the train.
Depending on your situation, you can accumulate:
- the IJC “Priority” with the IJC “Parking”;
- or the Invalidity MIF with the Parking MIF.
So how do you apply for a MIF?
If you meet the necessary conditions, you must complete the Cerfa application form number 15692*01 to the MDPH:
- attach the supporting documents requested;
- and file the file online or by mail with the MDPH of your place of residence.
These 3 cards are issued for a minimum of 1 year or all the life depending on the evolution of your disability.

Parking
The card allows you and the person accompanying you to use it for free and without limitation of duration all parking spaces open to the public in France and in all the countries of the European Union.
However, the municipality may decide to limit the duration without being able to fix it at less than 12 hours. In addition, a fee may be charged for access to parking lots equipped with entry and exit terminals that can be used from your vehicle.
Please note
The IJC Parking replaces the old parking card. If you still have this old card, it stays valid until 31 december 2026. However, you can apply for the Parking IJC without waiting for this deadline.
To apply for the card, you must:
- Have a disability that significantly and sustainably reduces your ability and autonomy to walk or be accompanied by a person for your trips
- Or report to group 1 or group 2 of the Aggir grid.
In addition, it is necessary to:
- Be a French national or a national of a country of the European Economic Area (EEA) or have a valid residence permit if you are a foreign national
- And reside in the department where you apply.
It all depends if:
- You're asking for the IJC at the same time as Personalized Autonomy Allocation (Apa)
- You apply for the IJC and already collect the AAA
- You are applying for the IJC without being affected by the AfA.
