Our application process to apply for or renew (re-apply) a Blue Badge changed on 28 January 2025. If you applied prior to this date, here are the instructions to complete your online application.
To complete your application, upload documents or track progress, go to access your saved application.
For more information on how to send us documents go to sending documents.
What happens next
When you submit your application online, you will get a confirmation email to let you know the application has been submitted successfully.
We'll normally be in touch within 6 weeks of you applying. It can take up to 12 weeks to fully process your application. This is because we may need you to attend a mobility assessment or require further evidence from you.
If we've requested further or new evidence, you can upload this to your application by logging in to your account.
You can also track the progress of your application at any time.
Beware of scams
It's free to apply for a Blue Badge. There's a £10 fee to cover the cost of producing a badge if you're successful.
Please be aware of Blue Badge scams where you may be charged more than £10 for an application. These websites are not associated with the Blue Badge service and the application form supplied by these websites is not accepted by local authorities.
