Renewing your blue badge

Badges last up to three years. When you need a new one you must re-apply.

Renewals are sent out about 6 weeks before the badge is due to expire. We send you a letter, a form to complete, information booklet and addressed return envelope. If you have not received your letter 4 weeks before the expiry date of your badge, contact us. You can use the application form at the top of this page to reapply.

You must notify us if you change your address or if the badge is no longer needed.

If awarded, your new badge will be dispatched one week before your existing badge is due to expire.
