Blue Badge scheme

Report a change, a lost or stolen Blue Badge or appeal a decision

If you are reporting a change, telling us about a lost or stolen blue badge or appealing a decision, you may be asked to submit evidence to support your enquiry. Help with this is provided on our submit evidence for a blue badge page.

To report a change of name or address, please complete our Blue Badge enquiry form.

There is no requirement to report a change in vehicle as a blue badge can be used in any vehicle that the badge holder is travelling in.

If your application for a blue badge is refused, you do not have a legal right to appeal. However, we can review our decision if you disagree with it.

You can ask for a review within 20 working days of your refusal letter
Explain why you think the decision was wrong
Provide any extra information about your disability, health condition, or walking ability

We will review your request and notify you in writing. This decision will be final.

To request a review please complete our Blue Badge enquiry form.

Report a lost or stolen blue badge to the police who will provide you with a reference number.

Once received, complete our Blue Badge enquiry form. A replacement blue badge costs £20.

Please return the blue badge if it's no longer needed or shouldn't be used. This helps prevent misuse.

Return the badge if:

You have found a badge that was reported lost or stolen (and got a replacement)
It is damaged or unreadable
You are no longer eligible or do not need it
The badge holder has died, or the badge has expired

Please return the blue badge to the Blue Badge team at the address listed on this page, including a note explaining the reason for the return.
