Blue Badge parking scheme for disabled people

You can apply for a blue badge online through the Gov.UK website.

Alternatively, you can download the Blue Badge application form and applicants' notes from our website, including details about the eligibility and review process.

Please read the notes carefully before completing the application form. Incomplete application forms will be returned, which could delay the processing of your badge.

You should allow up to 10 weeks for your application to be processed.  

How to complete your application

You will need to:

• enclose all documents required to prove your eligibility - check the guidelines
  
• ensure you read the declarations and sign in all areas where stated

For your application you will also need:

• one passport-size, passport-style photograph (with your name and address on the back).
  

Send the form, photos and cheque to the Mobility Team.

Fees

The Royal Borough of Greenwich currently charges a non-refundable administration fee of £10.

Renewal

Your Blue Badge is valid for three years. You will need to apply for a new one after this time. Please note that you will NOT be sent a reminder.

Make sure you apply for a new Blue Badge ten weeks before your existing one expires. This should ensure that there are no gaps between your existing badge and the new one, if reissued. Once you have received the new badge please return the old one.

How long will my application take?

The whole process can take longer than ten weeks. This will depend on whether your application is sent for assessment or approved in the first instance.

If you cannot apply yourself

If you cannot apply yourself, you can authorise someone to apply on your behalf. This could be a parent or guardian, a family member or friend, or someone with Power of Attorney.
