Blue badge scheme
You will need to apply for a blue badge via the GOV.uk website. There is a £10.00 charge, this is the only fee that will apply and will be refunded if you are not successful. Once you have submitted your application please pay on-line.
Apply for a Blue Badge Pay for a blue badge
Applications may take up to eight weeks to process. So if you are applying for a review of your Blue Badge, please apply at least 12 weeks before your current badge is due to expire.
Displaying the Blue Badge in your car allows you to park in dedicated parking bays. This helps you park closer to your destination. Even if you don't have a car you can use your Blue Badge in someone else's car, when they drive you somewhere.
You can find out more about the Blue Badge scheme from GOV.UK.
Lost or stolen Blue Badges
If your Blue Badge has been lost or stolen, please email concessionarytravel@kingston.gov.uk, we can then cancel the missing badge and arrange for a new one be posted to you. Please note that you will need to pay a £10 fee before the replacement badge can be issued. The replacement badge will have the same expiration date as the missing badge and will need to be renewed as normal before this date using the GOV.UK application form.
