Blue Badge

If you're a driver or a passenger and you have mobility issues, you may be eligible for a Blue Badge.

If you have a disability that makes travel difficult, you can apply for a Blue Badge that lets you park closer to facilities.  You can check if you are eligible for a Blue Badge on the Government website.

Apply or Renew a Blue Badge

There are several categories of disability that can make you eligible for a Blue Badge. Depending on the category you apply under, you will be asked a set of questions about your personal circumstances, your conditions and how they affect your mobility. You will also be required to supply supporting evidence.

You’ll need a recent digital photo showing your head and shoulders.

You’ll also need a photo or scan of your:

  • proof of identity (such as a birth certificate, passport or driving licence)
  • proof of address (such as a Council Tax bill or government letter)
  • proof of benefits (if you get any)

You’ll also need to know:

  • your National Insurance number (if you have one)
  • the details of your current Blue Badge (if you’re reapplying)
