Blue Badge parking scheme

Parked cars

The Blue Badge scheme gives parking concessions across the UK, which help disabled people park closer to their destination

  • Renew your Blue Badge 

    Leicestershire Blue Badge holders must re-apply for a new badge before their current one expires. This can now be done online.

  • Who can get a Blue Badge 

    You can apply for a Blue Badge from us if you are a Leicestershire resident

  • Apply for a Blue Badge 

    An application for a Blue Badge is free of charge. Successful applications require a payment of £10 to issue the Blue Badge.

  • How to use a Blue Badge 

    The Blue Badge is issued to you as an individual, not a vehicle. You can display the badge on any vehicle (including taxis and hired cars) in which you are travelling as either a driver or a passenger.

  • Lost, stolen or damaged Blue Badge 

    If your Blue Badge is lost, stolen or damaged you can report it and get a replacement.

  • Change details or return a Blue Badge 

    Please tell us of any changes to your name or address. You must also return your Blue Badge to us if you no longer use it.

  • Report misuse of a Blue Badge 

    The misuse of Blue Badges affects genuinely disabled people who are using the scheme correctly
