Renewing and returning badges

In England, a Blue Badge costs up to £10, while in Scotland it's priced at £20. In Wales, it's issued free of charge. Local authorities handle the processing of these badges, determining eligibility and setting the price

Typically, a Blue Badge remains valid for up to three years, after which the holder must reapply. There are two categories of people who can obtain a Blue Badge - some qualify automatically, while others are assessed on an individual basis.

In England, Scotland and Wales, you can apply for a Blue Badge on GOV.UK. If you're in Northern Ireland, there's a different application process. Visit here for more information.
