Before you start
You must be a Gloucestershire resident to apply to us. First check your eligibility on the Government website.
Check your eligibility
Before you start your application, make sure you have a digital copy (photo or scan) of all the supporting documents needed to:
- prove your identity (such as a birth certificate, passport or driving licence)
- prove your address (such as a Council Tax bill or government letter)
- prove your benefits (if you get any, such as PIP/DLA/SSI/ WPMS)
- give supporting evidence of your disability (for example, a GP or specialist diagnosis, a copy of your prescribed medication list, a GP patient summary, or summary of care report. Please don’t send appointment letters.)
You’ll also need to know:
- your National Insurance number (if you have one)
- the details of your current Blue Badge (if you’re reapplying)
Your application will be delayed if submitted without the correct supporting documents. It will be rejected if you cannot provide sufficient supporting evidence for the criteria you applied under.
Applying or renewing by post
If you are unable to apply online, you can apply to Gloucestershire County Council by post. Download the application form and guidance below or contact the Blue Badge team to request a copy:
