How to use a Blue Badge

Returning your Blue Badge

Last updated
14 Jul 2025

You must return your Blue Badge to your local council if:

  • it’s expired 
  • you no longer qualify for the badge because your condition has improved
  • it cannot be read because of damage
  • your entitlement for a temporary badge ends 
  • you get a withdrawal notice from your local council

If you find a Blue Badge belonging to someone who has died, you should return it to the local council who issued it. The local council name is written on the front of the badge. 

Contact your local council to get help with a Blue Badge
