Renewing and changing your Blue Badge
Keep your badge up to date, and know what to do when things change.
A Blue Badge usually lasts up to three years, so every so often there is a little admin to keep on top of. The good news is that none of it is difficult once you know the steps.
Here you will find how to renew before your badge runs out (renewing is not automatic, so it helps to plan ahead), what to do if your badge is lost, stolen or damaged, how to update your details if you move, and the kind, practical steps to take when a badge holder passes away.
