Blue Badge across the UK: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

The Blue Badge scheme runs across the whole of the United Kingdom, and a badge issued in one nation is recognised in the others. But England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each run their own version, with their own cost, application route and some of their own rules.

That matters, because a fact you read for England might not hold in Scotland or Northern Ireland. These guides set out each nation clearly, so you can find the right cost, the right official service and the right details for where you live.

In England, Scotland and Wales the badge is issued by your local council, and you can find your council for the cost and application route in your area.
