Medical exemptions from the mandatory use of seatbelts issued before 1 March 2022 will no longer be valid as of 1 January 2026.
Individuals who still require an exemption for medical reasons must submit a new application to the Federal Public Service for Mobility and Transport.
They will need to provide a new medical certificate to support their request.
The cost for issuing and sending an exemption, whether for a first application, renewal, or duplicate, is €23. Each exemption is valid for up to 10 years.
After this period, a new medical certificate will be required to renew the exemption.
