Welcome to San Marino

San Marino ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2008. Sign language for people who are deaf has no officially recognised status. It is neither used as the first language in education of deaf people nor recognised as the main means of communication between deaf persons and others. There are no Governmental measures for encouraging media and other forms of public information to make their services available to persons with disabilities. The only service provided to facilitate information and communication between persons with disabilities and other persons is easy readers for persons with mental disabilities.

There are laws and regulations requiring that public places, the outdoor environment, means of transportation and housing are made accessible. Accessibility in the build environment is observed by a national authority and local Governments. The following measures have been promoted by the Government in order to promote accessibility in the build environment: levelling off pavements, marking parking areas. Special transport arrangements include public transport free of charge, available for medical treatment, education, employment and recreational purposes.
