Make Standing Easier With a Medical Access ID From The Card Project UK

Not every medical condition is obvious. Some people struggle to stand for long periods because of chronic pain, fatigue, joint problems, heart or lung issues, or neurological conditions. Some are recovering from surgery. Others are going through treatment that leaves them exhausted. Many simply don’t look unwell—and that’s where problems start.

Our Medical Access Photo ID Card is for people who deal with those challenges every day. It gives you a way to ask for support without needing to explain your health. It’s not an official pass, but it makes things clear. If you can’t stand for long, this card helps you say so.

Let Our Disability Photo ID Card Speak Up When Standing Isn’t an Option

You know that moment when you’re stuck in a queue, and your legs are screaming but you feel like you can’t say anything? That’s exactly when our card makes a difference.

Your photo is on the front, along with a short message explaining that you’ve got a medical condition that affects your ability to stand. Underneath, it lists three ways someone nearby could help—let you move forward, offer you a seat, or give you a bit of extra support. It's polite, it’s clear, and it does the talking for you when you don’t feel like repeating yourself.

The design is simple. The card is the size of a credit card, so it fits in your wallet, bag or pocket. When you need it, you just show it. That’s it.

On the back, there’s a smaller version of your photo, your name, your date of birth, and a place for your signature. It helps when someone wants to check that the card really belongs to you—especially in places where staff might be cautious about queues or seating.

Nothing complicated. Just something that works when you need it to.

Health Conditions That Make You Eligible for a Standing Exemption Card

You don’t need a specific diagnosis to find this card useful. It’s for people who struggle with standing—no matter the reason.

That might be arthritis, fibromyalgia, spinal problems, joint instability or chronic back pain. It might be heart disease, COPD, asthma or another condition that makes breathing harder when standing for too long. It might be a neurological condition like Parkinson’s or MS that affects your balance or coordination. It might be long COVID, cancer treatment, or chronic fatigue syndrome. It might be a temporary injury. It might be pregnancy complications that leave you unable to queue safely.

Our card isn’t restricted to one group. If you find standing difficult and it affects your day-to-day life, this card is for you.

Use Our Medical Access ID Card in Shops, Queues and Public Transport

Most people use our card in supermarkets, pharmacies, train stations, airports, buses, post offices and events. Anywhere where standing is expected—this card helps.

If there’s a long queue, show your card. If all the seats are taken, show your card. If someone questions why you’ve stepped forward or asked for help, show your card.

You don’t need to push or explain. The card says everything in a way that’s calm, respectful, and easy to understand. And it often avoids a conversation you didn’t want to have in the first place.

Not an Official Card, But It Helps With Hidden Disabilities

We’re always clear about this. Our Medical Access Photo ID Card is not official. It’s not issued by the Government and it doesn’t give you legal rights.

But in real life, it still helps.

Most people want to do the right thing. They just don’t always know what you’re going through. Our card gives them a reason to stop, read, and understand. That’s often enough to change how you’re treated in queues, on buses, or in busy public places.

It’s not a guarantee. But it’s often all you need.
