Blue Badge Scheme

What is The Blue Badge scheme? 

The Blue Badge Scheme provides a range of parking concessions for people with severe mobility problems who have difficulty using public transport. The badge enables holders to park close to where they need to go. The scheme operates throughout the UK.

The system of issuing the Blue Badges changed on 1st January 2012. The badges will be of a new design and will be produced by a central secure process similar to a driving licence.

New Applications, Renewals and Organisational Blue Badges 

From February 2012 there will be a £10 charge for all new, renewed or organisational badges issued by Lincolnshire County Council. The badge fee will be non-refundable and payable only if your application is successful. There will be no charge for unsuccessful applications.

Successful applicants will only be issued with a Blue Badge once their payment has been received. 

Replacement and Duplicate Blue Badges 

All requests for a duplicate or replacement of a current badge must be made by completing the ‘duplicate badge application form’. From February 2012 there will be a £5 charge for all replacement or duplicate badges issued by Lincolnshire County Council. We will ask you to supply proof of identity before we issue a replacement badge to help prevent fraud and misuse of blue badge scheme.

For more information about lost, stolen, faded or damaged Blue Badges please refer to the ‘Replacement Badges’ section above.
