How it works
A Blue Badge helps you to park close to your destination, either as a passenger or driver.
A badge holder can park for free:
- in allocated disabled bays and on the road
- in any car park for the maximum stay (in line with its terms and conditions)
- on single or double yellow lines (up to 3 hours)

The video above shows the process to apply for a Blue Badge due to a walking disability. It does not cover hidden disabilities.
It also mentions that they can be used throughout Europe. But since Brexit, this is no longer the case. There is now a list of countries where a UK blue badge is recognised.
