Given the present hold-ups with Royal Mail, we kindly request your patience for up to three weeks for the arrival of your item. Please note, during this period, we will not be able to process any requests for replacements. Thank you for your understanding.
A Blue Badge is a disabled parking permit. It helps people with disabilities or health conditions park closer to their destination. To qualify for a Blue Badge, you must have an enduring and substantial disability. You may need to provide evidence of this.
Please ensure you have read who can apply for a Blue Badge before proceeding.
There is a £10 charge when applying for a Blue Badge payable by credit or debit card. If you are not eligible, you will be refunded.
Please note if you do not send documents requested or complete your application (including booking a mobility assessment if required) within four weeks, your application will be cancelled.
This application process is for both first time applications and customers who have an existing Blue Badge. If your Blue Badge is due to expire and you cannot find the details when you select 'renew', please complete a new application. We are unable to automatically reissue badges.
Please continue to use your current Blue Badge until the expiry date displayed on your badge.
From the date an application is completed (including all documentation received), it can take up to four weeks to issue a Blue Badge. If you contact us before then, we will be unable to provide any further information. We can only fast track applications where the applicant is terminally ill.
Non-visible conditions applications
For applicants applying under the discretionary criteria for non-visible (hidden) disabilities such as severe psychological distress or other complex mental health disorders, you will be asked to provide proof of your disability and how it affects you during the course of a journey. Before you submit your application, please make sure you have the following documentation available.
A Blue Badge Hidden Disabilities Professional form (BBNV2) must be completed by a social, educational or healthcare professional involved with your care.
Please provide copies of documents as original documents cannot be returned.
Once we have received your application and the correct documentation, it can take up to four weeks to issue a Blue Badge under the non-visible (hidden) disability criteria. If you contact us before then, we will be unable to provide any further information.
Getting help with your application
If you have any problems using the online form, ask a family member or friend to assist you with your application. Alternatively please call 0345 045 5204 to speak to the Blue Badge Team for help over the phone.
