Apply for or renew a Blue Badge
How to apply online for a new Blue Badge or renew your existing one.
Who can get a Blue Badge?
A Blue Badge helps you park closer to your destination if you have a severe mobility problem or a hidden disability that makes it hard for you to use public transport.
Blue Badges are given to either the driver or the passenger of a vehicle they are travelling in. You may automatically qualify for a Blue Badge or need to be assessed.
Before you apply
Some people will automatically qualify - check if you automatically qualify on GOV.UK. Other people will have to meet the eligibility criteria set out in the application form.
