The Blue Badge scheme
For more information, visit the Parkinson’s UK website (last updated May 2026).
A Blue Badge helps people with disabilities or health conditions park closer to where they need to go.
The Blue Badge is linked to a person, not a vehicle, so you can use it with any car that you’re driving or travelling in as a passenger. This includes taxis and hire cars. The badge usually lasts up to 3 years.
You can check to see if you’re eligible for a Blue Badge and apply for, or renew your application online at the link below (except for Aberdeen City Council, where you should apply via the council’s website).
