Apply for a Blue Badge

An ‘organisation’ is defined in legislation as meaning an organisation concerned with the care of disabled persons to which a disabled person’s badge may be issued.
Organisations can apply for a maximum of 3 Blue Badges which can then be used whilst transporting passengers who would themselves, meet one or more of the eligibility criteria for an individual Blue Badge.

To qualify, the organisation must:

• care for and transport disabled people who would themselves meet one or more of the eligibility criteria for an individual Blue Badge and;
• have a clear need for an organisational badge rather than using the individual Blue Badges of people it is transporting

It is unlikely that taxi or private hire operators and community transport operators would be eligible for an organisational Blue Badge as they are not usually concerned with the care of disabled people who would meet one or more of the eligibility criteria for a badge. Such operators are, of course, still able to use an individual’s Blue Badge when carrying that person as a passenger.

The documents you need to provide are listed on the proof required for organisations page.
