Blue Badge "advice" warning

Some private websites charge a fee for advice and help with applications for a Blue Badge. These websites are not connected with us or the government, and do not guarantee a successful application. If you've been affected by a private website that has charged you a fee, you should report it to the Citizens Advice consumer service.

We advise residents simply to follow the advice and links here on our website.

Lost, stolen or damaged Blue Badge

To replace a damaged Blue Badge, you must provide a proof of address (dated within the last three months):

  • Rent book or tenancy agreement 

  • Benefits/pension letter or book (for example, DLA or SPVA letter)

If you lose your Blue Badge, you must first report it lost at www.reportmyloss.com/uk. You will be charged a fee to register your Blue Badge as lost with this service. Once you have completed the online loss report, you will need to contact us to complete an indemnity form.
