Apply or reapply for a Blue Badge

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 will 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. 

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.
