Page Contents

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.

Who is this page for?

The information and application form are for people who live in Cambridgeshire and are reapplying for a Blue Badge.

The Blue Badge reapplication process outlined in these webpages is for Cambridgeshire residents only. If you are unsure if the applicant lives in the county, please visit Find your local council - GOV.UK and enter postcode.

Please note badges are not automatically renewed. This process is for current badge holders to reapply.

How far in advance can I reapply for a badge?

We can accept reapplications from 12 weeks before the expiry date. Please do not try and apply before, this will not speed up the process and may result in a delay.

What do I need to complete the form?

How long will it take to issue a badge? 

From the date the 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.

How much will it cost? 

The cost is £10. The amount is taken during the online application. It can be paid by using a credit or debit card. If you are not eligible for a Blue Badge, you will be refunded. 

My details are not found on the form when I select Reapply?

If your Blue Badge is due to expire and you cannot find the details when you select 'Reapply for new badge’, please complete a new application. We are unable to automatically reissue badges. 

What can delay or cancel my application?

Please note that if you do not provide the correct documents, if any required information is missing, or if you do not complete your application (including booking an independent mobility assessment (IMA) if required) within four weeks, your application will be cancelled.

We recommend checking all requirements carefully to avoid delays.

How will I receive application update? 

After you have submitted the online form, you will receive updates to the email address entered on the form. You can expect an email message confirming we have received the application stating a reference number.

We will use email throughout the process. The sender’s name and email address will be Blue Badge Cambridgeshire Blue.Badges@cambridgeshire.gov.uk. Please do check your junk/spam folder before contacting us.
