Blue Badge Scheme
If you have a severe permanent disability, or a hidden disability such as autism or anxiety, you may be able to get a Blue badge. A Blue Badge lets you park in disabled parking bays closer to the place you’re going.
You can apply for a Blue Badge whether you’re the driver or you travel as a passenger in a vehicle, as long as you meet the qualifying criteria.
Apply for or renew a Blue Badge
The quickest and easiest way to apply for or renew a Blue Badge is through the GOV.UK website. They’ll send your information to us to check and make a decision about whether you qualify.
When you submit your application you'll also need to provide:
- Proof of your address, dated within the last 12 months.
- Proof of your identity
- Proof of your entitlement/supporting evidence
- A recent passport style photograph
Full details of the above can be found within the application form.
Please make sure when completing your application, all relevant documentation is provided. You should also send anything else you think would be beneficial when completing the assessment. This will make sure your application is dealt with as quickly and as efficiently and possible.
The charge for a Blue Badge is £10 which you can pay by debit or credit card when applying.
Your badge will be valid for up to three years. If you still need one after this time you'll need to reapply.
